Enhanced pedestal transport driven by edge collisionality on Alcator C-Mod and its role in regulating H-mode pedestal gradients by M.A. Miller, J.W. Hughes, A.M. Rosenthal, S. Mordijck, R. Reksoatmodjo, M. Wigram, J. Dunsmore, F. Sciortino, R.S. Wilcox, T. Odstrčil

“…Enhanced D _α experiments on Alcator C-Mod observed pedestal degradation and loss in confinement below a critical value of net power crossing the separatrix, $P_\mathrm{net} = P_\mathrm{net}^\mathrm{crit} \approx 2.3$ MW, in the absence of any external fueling. New analysis of ionization and particle flux profiles reveal saturation of the pedestal electron density, $n_{e}^\mathrm{ped}$ , despite continuous increases in ionization throughout the pedestal, inversely related to $P_\mathrm{net}$ . …”

Forecasting the Remaining Duration of an Ongoing Solar Flare by Jeffrey W. Reep, Will T. Barnes

“…Abstract The solar X‐ray irradiance is significantly heightened during the course of a solar flare, which can cause radio blackouts due to ionization of the atoms in the ionosphere. As the duration of a solar flare is not related to the size of that flare, it is not directly clear how long those blackouts can persist. …”
