The quasi-continuous exhaust regime in ASDEX Upgrade and JET
The quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE) regime is a type-I ELM-free high confinement regime obtained at high plasma shaping and high separatrix density. A comparison with various ELM-free regimes in the literature is presented together with potential physics models for accessing the…
