Abstract

An improved confinement mode with reheat and edge transport barrier is observed in the Compact Helical System (CHS). This mode provides enhanced confinement in high density region (n_e ˜ 1.2 × 10²⁰ m^-3) due to the increase in temperature while high density is maintained in the peripheral region.
