Equilibrium analysis of current profiles in tokamaks
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient method is given for self-consistent reconstruction of the tokamak current profiles and their associated magnetic topology using the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium constraint from external magnetic measurements, kinetic profile measurements, internal poloidal magnetic field measurements, and topological information from soft X-ray (SXR) measurements.

TL;DR: Values of normalized beta, up to 4 ({percent}-{ital m}-T/MA), energy confinement are a factor of 3 better than {ital L} mode, and at least 50% of the noninductive plasma current in this regime demonstrates compatibility with requirements for a steady-state high-beta tokamak power plant.
