First-principle based predictions of the effects of negative triangularity on DTT scenarios

Olivier Sauter, Gabriele Merlo, Alberto Mariani

Plasmas with negative triangularity (NT) shape have been recently shown to be able to achieve H-mode levels of confinement in L-mode, avoiding detrimental edge localised modes. Therefore, this plasma geometry is now studied as a possible viable option for ...
