| Title | 217: Is q profile modification the key element in hybrid and advanced inductive plasmas? | ||

| Description: | Test whether the q profile (as modified by the NTM) is the key to good hybrid performance. | ||
| Experimental Approach/Plan: | |||
| Background: | The hybrid mode can be more reliably scaled to ITER if the physics behind its improved performance is understood. It has been argued that the changes in the q profile due to the presence of the 3/2 NTM (in DIII-D) lead to better confinement and improved stability to the 2/1 mode. | ||
