Abstract

Low-to-high confinement mode transitions in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) were studied. The NSTX data were obtained in low aspect ratio discharges taken from a variety of discharge phases, including L-modes, L-H transitions and H-modes. It was found that NSTX data indicate a possible connection between L-H transitions and nonambipolar beam ion losses.
