abstract = {Full suppression of type-I edge localized modes (ELMs)
using n = 4 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) as
planned for ITER has been demonstrated for the first time (n
is the toroidal mode number of the applied RMP). This is
achieved in EAST plasmas with low input torque and tungsten
divertor, and the target plasma for these experiments in
EAST is chosen to be relevant to the ITER Q = 10 operational
scenario, thus also addressing significant scenario issues
for ITER. In these experiments the lowest neutral beam
injection (NBI) input torque is around TNBI ∼ 0.44 Nm,
which extrapolates to around 14 Nm in ITER (compared to a
total torque input of 35 Nm when 33 MW of NBI are used for
heating). The q95 is around 3.6 and normalized plasma beta
βN ∼ 1.5–1.8, similar to that in the ITER Q = 10
scenario. Suppression windows in both q95 and plasma density
are observed; in addition, lower plasma rotation is found to
be favourabe to access ELM suppression. ELM suppression is
maintained with line averaged density up to $60\%nGW$
(Greenwald density limit) by feedforward gas fuelling after
suppression is achieved. It is interesting to note that in
addition to an upper density, a low density threshold for
ELM suppression of $40\%nGW$ is also observed. In these
conditions energy confinement does not significantly drop
$(<10\%)$ during ELM suppression when compared to the ELMy
H-mode conditions, which is much better than previous
results using low n (n = 1 and 2) RMPs in higher q95
regimes. In addition, the core plasma tungsten concentration
is clearly reduced during ELM suppression demonstrating an
effective impurity exhaust. MHD response modelling using the
MARS-F code shows that edge magnetic field stochasticity has
a peak at q95 ∼ 3.65 for the odd parity configuration,
which is consistent to the observed suppression window
around 3.6–3.75. These results expand the physical
understanding of ELM suppression and demonstrate the
effectiveness of n = 4 RMPs for reliable control ELMs in
future ITER high Q plasma scenarios with minimum detrimental
effects on plasma confinement.},
