    • Creation and sustainment of wide pedestal quiescent H-mode with zero net neutral beam torque 

      Burrell, K.H.; Chen, Xi; Chrystal, C.; Ernst, Darin R.; Grierson, B.A.; e.a. (IOP, 2020-02)
      Recent experiments on DIII-D have shown it is possible to create and sustain wide pedestal quiescent H-mode (QH-mode) plasmas with zero net torque from neutral beam injection (NBI) for the full discharge duration. Wide ...

    • Evidence for suprathermal ion distribution in burning plasmas 

      Hartouni, E.P.; Moore, A.S.; Crilly, A.J.; Appelbe, B.D.; Amendt, P.A.; e.a. (Nature, 2021-06)
      At the National Ignition Facility, inertial confinement fusion experiments aim to burn and ignite a hydrogen plasma to generate a net source of energy through the fusion of deuterium and tritium ions. The energy deposited ...

    • Burning plasma achieved in inertial fusion 

      Zylstra, A.B.; Hurricane, O.A.; Callahan, D.A.; Kritcher, A.L.; Ralph, J.; e.a. (Nature, 2021-05)
      The achievement of obtaining a burning plasma is a critical step toward self-sustaining fusion energy. A burning plasma is a fusion plasma where the alpha-particles created by the deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reactions ...
