Abstract

Circular limiter DD and DT H-modes have been obtained through transitions in supershot and high-poloidal-beta plasmas in TFTR. High tritium concentrations have been realized, with tritium fuelling mostly through the heating beams, varying from all D0 to all T0 beams. Density fluctuations were reduced by a factor of two across the plasma and Ti and Vφ, profiles have features consistent with simultaneous transport barriers in the plasma core and edge. χi values from TRANSP decrease by a factor of 2 to 5 in these regions at the transition and remain low until the onset of ELMs.
