STOR-M tokamak design was conceived in early 1980s in the Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL) at the University of Saskatchewan, and the first discharge was achieved in 1987. It is currently the only tokamak in Canada. STOR-M has accumulated more than 360000 discharges and remains active for the purpose of research and training. STOR-M has made many original contributions to tokamak confinement...
The penetration of edge localized mode (ELM) into internal transport barrier (ITB) plasma has been studied on the EAST tokamak with flat central safety factor profile q(0) ~ 1 recently. The experiment indicates that when the ELM inward penetration radius reaches to the ITB foot region, a significant influence on the ITB plasma is manifested, leading to the shrinking or collapse of the ITB on...
