Fusion physics progress on the Joint European Torus (JET)

The paper discusses recent progress in fusion physics on the Joint European Torus (JET) in the fields of plasma confinement, magnetohydrodynamic stability, particle and power exhaust, and fusion performance and -particle effects. In this context results are presented from the three JET operating regimes: ELM-free H-mode, ELMy H-mode and optimized shear mode. These results together with those from other tokamaks form a sound basis for extrapolation to a next step device based on ELMy H-mode operation and point the way for the development of more advanced tokamak scenarios.
