摘要
The combination of additional heating of less than or similar to 1 MW neutral beam injection and wall conditioning (boronization, titanium gettering and inter-shot helium-glow-discharge cleaning) has allowed the START spherical tokamak to achieve record beta values of beta(T) similar to 32%. Here we report the more recent demonstration of a transition to a higher confinement mode.
