Title: Turbulence suppression by E x B shear in JET optimized shear pulses

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/750156· OSTI ID:750156

The authors calculate microinstability growth rates in JET optimized shear plasmas with a comprehensive gyrofluid model, including sheared E x B flows, trapped electrons, and all dominant ion species in realistic magnetic geometry. They find good correlation between E x B shear suppression of microinstabilities and both the formation and collapse of the internal transport barrier.
