Abstract

Fusion energy development is quite successful in both getting equivalent energy break-even condition in large tokamak and clarifying many important physics in the magnetically confined plasma to proceed to a fusion experimental reactor, ITER (12). Now, fusion research has to solve the power handling toward fusion demonstration power reactor (DEMO). A tokamak plasma with strongly negative triangularity may offer such an opportunity as an innovative concept (2). Experimental and theoretical works at CRPP-EPFL shows promising results for negative triangularity tokamak (31). In this paper, we review the current understanding of such configuration in both physical and technological aspects.
