TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), is reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used deuterium pellets to accelerate type-I edge localized modes (ELMs) in high-constraint mode (H-mode) discharges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of plasma-edge-related operational regime boundaries and the effect of edge instability on confinement in ASDEX Upgrade
W. Suttrop,Michael Kaufmann,H. J. de Blank,B. Brüsehaber,K. Lackner,V. Mertens,H. D. Murmann,J. Neuhauser,F. Ryter,H. Salzmann,J. Schweinzer,J. Stober,H. Zohm +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, local edge parameters on the ASDEX upgrade tokamak are investigated at the L-mode to H-mode transition, during phases with various types of edge-localized modes (ELMs), and at the density limit.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Efficiency Plasma Refuelling by Pellet Injection from the Magnetic High-Field Side into ASDEX Upgrade
Peter Lang,K. Büchl,Michael Kaufmann,R. S. Lang,V. Mertens,H. W. Müller,J. Neuhauser,NI Teams +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-efficiency refuelling of ELMy Hmode tokamak discharges with solid deuterium pellets injected from the magnetic high-field side is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divertor power load feedback with nitrogen seeding in ASDEX Upgrade

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model for its underlying physics allows the prediction of its behaviour and the optimization of the feedback gain coefficients used, which can be found to have substantial impact on the behaviour of the seeded plasma.
