Abstract
A direct consequence of the ELMy H-mode regime of tokamaks is that, for a constant value of the energy gain Q, both the plasma linear dimension and the normalized plasma density and beta are decreasing functions of the toroidal magnetic field. In this paper, starting from the conditions foreseen for the latest versions of ITER, we derive the plasma parameters of three tokamak plasmas with a toroidal magnetic field of 8, 10, and 13 T.
