Abstract
Recent experiments at the Joint European Torus [Rebut et al., Fusion
Eng. Des. 22, 7 (1993)] aim to improve confinement quality in
high-confinement-mode (H-mode) plasmas at high densities. Energy
confinement time as predicted by the International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor ITER-H98(y,2) scaling at densities near or in
excess of 85% of the Greenwald density limit scaling has been obtained
by (i) strong plasma shaping (triangularity 0.35
