Pedestal Formation

Pedestal Formation is a plasma confinement phenomenon characterized by the development of a narrow, steep-gradient region at the edge of a magnetically confined plasma, where pressure and temperature profiles exhibit a sharp rise, thereby enhancing global energy confinement in high-performance tokamak regimes.
