Enhanced H-mode pedestals with lithium injection in DIII-D
T.H. Osborne,G.L. Jackson,Zheng Yan,R. Maingi,D.K. Mansfield,Brian Grierson,C.P. Chrobak,Adam McLean,S.L. Allen,D. J. Battaglia,A.R. Briesemeister,M.E. Fenstermacher,George McKee,P. B. Snyder +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a powder of 45 µm diameter lithium particles increased the duration of the enhanced pedestal phases to up to 350 ms, and also increased the likelihood of a transition to the enhanced phase.
