abstract = {In order to understand the mechanisms for the H-mode
density limit in machines with fully metallic walls,
systematic investigations of H-mode density limit plasmas in
experiments with deuterium and hydrogen external gas
fuelling have been performed on JET-ILW.The observed H-mode
density limit on JET in D- as well as in H-plasmas
demonstrates similar operation phases: the stable H-mode
phase, degrading H-mode, breakdown of the H-mode with energy
confinement deterioration accompanied by a dithering cycling
phase, followed by the L-mode phase.The density limit is not
related to an inward collapse of the hot core plasma due to
an overcooling of the plasma periphery by radiation. Indeed,
independently of the isotopic effect, the total radiated
power stay almost constant during the H-mode phase until the
H-L back transition. It was observed in D- and H-plasmas
that neither detachment, nor the X-point MARFE itself do
trigger the H-L transition and that they thus do not present
a limit on the plasma density. It is the plasma confinement,
most likely determined by edge parameters, which is
ultimately responsible for the H-mode DL.By comparing
similar discharges but fuelled with either deuterium or
hydrogen, we have found that the H-mode density limit
exhibits a dependence on the isotope mass: the density limit
is up to $35\%$ lower in hydrogen compared to similar
deuterium plasma conditions (the obtained density limit is
in agreement with the Greenwald limit for D-plasma). In
addition, the density limit is nearly independent of the
applied power both in deuterium or hydrogen fuelling
conditions.The measured Greenwald fractions are consistent
with the predictions from a theoretical model based on an
MHD instability theory in the near-SOL. The JET operational
domains are significantly broadened when increasing the
plasma effective mass (e.g. tritium or deuterium–tritium
operation), i.e. the L to H power threshold is reduced
whereas the density limit for the L-mode back transition is
increased.},
