Times Cited Count：20 Percentile：53.14(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The formation of internal transport barriers (ITBs) near =2,3 surfaces in normal shear (NrS) discharges of JT-60U and JET is known. In reverse shear (RS) JT-60U plasmas, the role of minimum (
) equal to 3.5,3,2.5,2 is not obvious for ITB formation. In this paper, the effect of low rational values on ITB-events in JT-60U NrS and RS plasmas is investigated. Under sufficient neutral beam power (
8MW for 1.2-1.5MA/3.8T pulses), ITB-events are seen at rational and non-rational values of . The space-time evolutions of 
and 
are similar, suggesting the same mechanism for and transports. The temporal formation of stronger ITB under passing =3 (after periodical improvements and degradations via ITB-events) in RS H-mode with =8MW is presented. Under smaller power, ITB-events are observed only at rational values. In a weak RS shot with =4MW, the abrupt rise of is seen at =3.5, while more cases of rise are observed. The difference between the and evolutions for the low power suggests the decoupling of and transports.

The formation of internal transport barriers (ITBs) near q=3 surfaces in normal shear (NrS) discharges of JT-60U is known. In reverse shear (RS) JT-60U plasmas, the role of q minimum (qmin) equal to 3.5,3,2.5,2 was not obvious for ITB formation. ITB-events (non-local confinement bifurcations inside and around ITB) are found in various NrS and RS plasmas. Under sufficient heating power, ITB-events are seen at rational and not rational values of qmin. The space-time evolution of Te and Ti is similar, suggesting the same mechanism of Te and Ti transport. The temporal formation of strong ITB under passing of qmin=3 (after periodical improvements and degradations via ITB-events) in RS mode is presented. Under smaller power, ITB-events are observed only at rational values of qmin. In a weak RS shot, abrupt rise of Te is seen at qmin=3.5, while more cases of Ti rise are observed. The difference of Te and Ti evolutions seen regularly under the low power, suggests decoupling of Te and Ti transport.

New type of edge-core instantaneous interplay in JT-60U high- plasmas is found. Abrupt in time and wide in space reduction of electron heat flux in the core (called ITB-event) is correlated in ms timescale with the start of an ELM. This result gives a hint of the control to form the ITB immedeately and non-locally by inducing the ELM-like MHD activity.
