Overview of Tokamak Results

Over the years, the tokamak has emerged as the leading concept to confine high temperature plasmas. Most of the progress is based on building successively larger devices. This paper provides an overview of tokamak confinement scenarios and profile control, DT-experiments, power and particle exhaust,...

Description
Summary:Over the years, the tokamak has emerged as the leading concept to confine high temperature plasmas. Most of the progress is based on building successively larger devices. This paper provides an overview of tokamak confinement scenarios and profile control, DT-experiments, power and particle exhaust, and plasma edge and global confinement properties.
