    Abstract

    Density peaking increases in the inner core (r/a=0.3) from 0.3 to 2.7 and in the outer core (r/a=0.8) from 1.6 to 3.5 when ν decreases from 0.47 to 0.09 in JET H-mode plasmas while density peaking does not depend on ν in JET L-mode plasma. For this particular scan, experimental evidence indicates that a dominant part of this peaking originates from NBI fuelling and inward pinch is a subdominant fraction. This is supported by the simple linear runs with GYRO although much more work is needed here to make a conclusion. More discharges are needed to quantify more precisely the fractions of these two contributions and also much more work is required on the modelling front to make exact comparisons.
