Title: The H-mode Pedestal and Edge Localized Modes in NSTX

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/828496· OSTI ID:828496

The research program of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) routinely utilizes the H-mode confinement regime to test and extend beta and pulse length limits. As in conventional aspect ratio tokamaks, NSTX observes a variety of edge localized modes (ELMs) in H-mode. Hence a significant part of the research program is dedicated to ELMs studies.
