Description: | A database of current rise data from AUG, DIII-D, JET, JT-60U, and MAST is being analyzed for determination of the necessary and sufficient conditions for access to advanced inductive operation in ITER. Following the analysis, experiments will be proposed to test the conclusions of the analysis by direct experiments on various tokamaks. A good example of this activity is the application of the current overshoot technique in JET. Because JET cannot apply auxiliary heating in the current rise like AUG and DIII-D typically do, they had to find another way to form the q profile (presumably) sufficient for access to advanced inductive regimes. |
