Cut the Communications Fog, Say Physicists and Editors

摘要

It's an opening sentence that seems designed to put off even a physicist: "The need to obtain adequate ELMy H-mode energy confinement simultaneous with operation near the neoclassical tearing mode beta-limit and at/above the Greenwald density limit suggests that careful optimization of plasma performance wifl be required to obtain the desired fusion power performance, and that 'active means' to control or inhibit the onset of neoclassical tearing mode activity--a common precursor of plasma energy collapse or disruption in present experiments operating near the beta and/or density limits--will be required."
