Abstract
A test of a new model for the high-to-low (H–L) mode power threshold, based on the destabilization of edge thermal instabilities, is made by comparison with a set of DIII-D [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] discharges in which increasing radiative power leads to a H–L transition. Agreement is found between the measured power crossing the separatrix just prior to the H–L transition and the predicted power threshold for the onset of transport enhancing thermal instabilities.
