Abstract: Spherical tokamaks (STs) have features that make them a potentially attractive option for fusion power production compared to conventional tokamaks (CTs) including operation at high beta and high self-driven ‘bootstrap’ current. The thermal energy confinement… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1741-4326/ab235b
Abstract: The 'Super H-Mode' regime is predicted to enable pedestal height and fusion performance substantially higher than standard H-Mode operation. This regime exists due to a bifurcation of the pedestal pressure, as a function of density,… read more here.
