A set of resonant magnetic field perturbation coils makes it possible to suppress large amplitude ELMs. Such coils have been the subject of much discussion for the ITER team and the teams of many international devices, American Physical Society Fellowship, APS Fellow (2009), American Physical Society John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research (2018)
