Scrape Off Layer and Divertor Physics
Research in scrape-off-layer (SOL) and divertor physics is concerned with studies of the edge region of the tokamak plasma where the poloidal magnetic field is “diverted” such that the plasma...

Edge Localised Modes
Edge localised modes, or ELMs, are a series of plasma eruptions that often occur at the edge of a tokamak plasma. They can result in extremely large heat loads on...

Turbulence
In a tokamak, the hot plasma conditions required for fusion are maintained using magnetic fields. To a good approximation, the plasma particles (electrons and deuterium/tritium ions) are constrained to follow...
