T. N. Carlstrom,G. L. Campbell,J.C. DeBoo,R.G. Evanko,J. Evans,C. M. Greenfield,J.S. Haskovec,C. L. Hsieh,E. McKee,R. T. Snider,R. E. Stockdale,P. K. Trost,M. P. Thomas +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 40 spatial channel Thomson scattering system that uses multiple 20-Hz Nd:YAG lasers to measure the electron temperature and density profiles periodically throughout an entire plasma discharge is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond paradigm: Turbulence, transport, and the origin of the radial electric field in low to high confinement mode transitions in the DIII-D tokamak
R.A. Moyer,Keith H. Burrell,T. N. Carlstrom,Stefano Coda,Robert W. Conn,E. J. Doyle,P. Gohil,R. J. Groebner,J. Kim,R. Lehmer,W. A. Peebles,Miklos Porkolab,Curtis L. Rettig,T. L. Rhodes,R. P. Seraydarian,R. E. Stockdale,Daniel Thomas,George Tynan,J.G. Watkins +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the predictions of the shear suppression of turbulence as the mechanism for the low to high confinement mode (L to H) transition by quantitative comparison with experimental results from the DIII-D tokamak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of the L-mode to H-mode transition in tokamaks
Keith H. Burrell,T. N. Carlstrom,E. J. Doyle,D. F. Finkenthal,P. Gohil,R. J. Groebner,D. L. Hillis,J.S. Kim,H. Matsumoto,R.A. Moyer,T.H. Osborne,Curtis L. Rettig,W. A. Peebles,T. L. Rhodes,H. Stjohn,R.D. Stambaugh,M. R. Wade,J.G. Watkins +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basic paradigm of electric field shear stabilization has been discussed in the light of the most recent data, and the experimental results with various theories have been compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in quantifying the edge physics of the H mode regime in DIII-D
R. J. Groebner,D.R. Baker,K. H. Burrell,T. N. Carlstrom,J.R. Ferron,P. Gohil,L.L. Lao,T.H. Osborne,Daniel Thomas,W.P. West,Jose Boedo,R.A. Moyer,George McKee,R. D. Deranian,E. J. Doyle,Curtis L. Rettig,Terry Rhodes,J.C. Rost +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified edge conditions in DIII-D to provide insight into the physics of the H?mode regime, and showed that electron temperature is not the key parameter that controls the L-H transition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the L-mode to H-mode transition in the DIII-D tokamak is associated with the sudden reduction in anomalous, fluctuation-connected transport across the outer midplane of the plasma.
