Abstract

The spherical tokamak (ST), as well as being able to access high β, exhibits conventional tokamak-like confinement. START, GLOBUS, NSTX and MAST all demonstrate confinement in good agreement with the international scaling laws. This paper presents a summary of work over the last year dedicated to understanding the confinement and, for the first time, transport properties, in both the core and the edge, of the low collisionality, high β MAST plasma.
