Ohmic energy confinement saturation and core toroidal rotation reversal in Alcator C-Mod plasmas

Ohmic energy confinement saturation is found to be closely related to core toroidal rotation reversals in Alcator C-Mod tokamak plasmas. Rotation reversals occur at a critical density, depending on the plasma current and toroidal magnetic field, which coincides with the density separating the linear...
