Abstract

This paper has identified two main, interrelated challenges for RFP research: confinement and sustainment. MST projects addressing these issues, including improved confinement by inductive current-profile control, RF injection for possible steady-state profile control, partial OFCD for sustainment, and NBI for current drive and profile-control experiments, have been highlighted.
