Abstract

The research areas of stability and transport have developed very strongly during recent years [1–65]. The development in stability and transport up to 2007 has been reviewed in a very comprehensive way by the ITER Expert groups and the ITPA groups [1, 2]. The first paper was accompanied by some pure modeling papers [3, 4]. However several papers on ITER physics basis were published also between these papers [5–7]. Recents areas of strong interest have been momentum transport [21–33, 55–57, 59, 60, 65, 67], Impurity transport [20, 42, 43], Finite beta effects [16, 45, 50, 53, 62]. Critical gradient effects and stiffness [44, 54, 55, 65] and particle and heat pinches [8, 10, 16, 35, 43, 51, 52, 56].
