摘要: A new model of $L$- to $H$-mode transition in tokamak plasmas is presented. Nonambipolar particle losses determine the consistent radial electric field near plasma periphery. "cusp-type catastrophe" among field, flux, and edge gradients found. At transition, loss can take multiple values for one profile density temperature edge. critical condition obtained.
