title: Reduced heat transport between edge-localized-mode bursts at low collisionality and small poloidal Larmor radius.
abstract: Nondimensional parameter dependence of heat transport between edge localized modes (ELMs) is examined for H mode plasmas. The electron heat diffusivity between ELMs is reduced to the level of ion neoclassical transport in the plasma edge region which is affected by ELM burst. At lower edge collisionality, the heat flux assigned to the heat transport between ELMs is reduced and the ELM loss power is enhanced. During the inter-ELM phase, the energy confinement time becomes larger with decreasing the edge collisionality and poloidal Larmor radius.
