Abstract. ELMy H-Mode experiments at JET since 2000 have focussed on the
steady state and simultaneous realization of the ITER QDT=10 requirements in
the normalized parameters for density, confinement and beta. Steady state
phases (
6s or
15
) in
discharges satisfying these requirements have been obtained by (i)
increasing the triangularity to the ITER reference value
(
0.5) and in plasmas at low
0.2 by seeding of Ar. Impurity seeding in high
delta discharges increases the radiation level to that needed for ITER, and
further increases density and confinement of unseeded reference discharges.
An optimised HFS pellet injection sequence is another means to increase
density and confinement. Density peaking, which would increase further
ITER's performance, has been obtained with pellet injection, impurity
seeding in low delta discharges and in unseeded ELMy H-Mode discharges with
carefully tuned gas fuelling. Promising evidence for a reduction of the
heat load caused by ELMs in high density discharges, further enhanced by
impurity seeding, will be discussed. Destabilization of NTMs can limit the
plasma performance and methods to avoid these
will be summarized.
