Abstract

In the presence of certain plasma loss mechanisms, major radius compression of a plasma of reduced size may give higher temperatures than those obtainable in full aperture Tokamak operation. The authors give compression scaling laws of temperature for various loss mechanisms and identify situations where major radius compression may be usefully applied.
