Tokamak high-confinement regimes are normally affected by the presence of often violent edge localised modes (ELMs). ELMs deposit unacceptable peak heat loads causing a severe deterioration of the plasma facing components. Although several ELM control/suppression techniques have been developed, they may not be applicable to future reactors such as ITER and DEMO. Thus a vivid interest has arisen on the development of naturally ELM-free regimes. One of the most promising of such regimes is the so called quiescent high-confinement (QH) mode. In QH plasmas, ELM activity is replaced by dominantly low-n steady mild rotating MHD edge harmonic oscillations (EHOs) localised in the pedestal region. EHOs have been observed in DIII-D, ASDEX-U, JET and JT60 [1]. In JET such a MHD activity is referred to as Outer Modes (OMs) [2].
In a world increasingly facing new challenges at the forefront of plasma scientific research and technological innovation, CNR and ISTP pledge progress and achieve an impact in the integration of research into societal practices and policy
