Characteristics of type I ELM energy and particle losses in existing devices and their extrapolation to ITER
A. Loarte,G. Saibene,R. Sartori,David Campbell,M. Becoulet,L. D. Horton,T. Eich,Albrecht Herrmann,G. Matthews,Nobuyuki Asakura,A. V. Chankin,Anthony Leonard,G. Porter,G. Federici,G. Janeschitz,Michiya Shimada,M. Sugihara +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that ELM energy losses are correlated with the density and temperature of the pedestal plasma before the ELM crash and the timescale of ELM particle fluxes.
