Description
Alcator C-Mod has demonstrated H-mode confinement that exceeds recent empirical H-mode scalings by a factor of 1.5. A new type of ELM behavior has been observed that avoids high instantaneous heat outflux. The compact, high-field plasmas obtained have enabled divertor studies to be performed at parallel power fluxes close to those predicted for ITER. Detached-divertor H-modes have been obtained by nitrogen puffing. Very high divertor neutral pressures are observed, which persist into the detached state. Highlights of these and other recent experimental results are presented. (author). 22 refs, 8 figs
