Samenvatting
Heating during the early part of the current rise phase gives a low or
negative magnetic shear (= 0741-3335/40/6/020/img27(dq/dr)) in the
centre of JET plasmas. Under these conditions the confinement improves
with high additional heating power heating during the current ramp-up
phase of the discharge. The reduction in the transport manifests itself
as a peaking of the profiles with a large gradient region near
0741-3335/40/6/020/img28 = 0.55. The best discharges have no transport
barrier at the edge of the plasma (L-mode). This allows central power
deposition by the neutral beams in JET. A control of the plasma
pressure, using feedback of the additional heating power in real-time,
minimizes the impact of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities. As a result,
these discharges achieve the highest D-D neutron rates in JET;
0741-3335/40/6/020/img29, with 0741-3335/40/6/020/img30,
0741-3335/40/6/020/img31 and 0741-3335/40/6/020/img32.
