A general figure of merit, which encompasses all the relevant tokamak parameters, is introduced in this paper by a convenient normalization of the global power balance equation. In this way, different hypothetical tokamak reactors can be compared in terms of their figure-of-merit value. This criterion is applied to analyse the performance of both ITER-like reactors and a class of newly proposed low-power reactors. %N 8 %T Physics performance analysis of low-power tokamak reactors %@electronicmailaddress ludwig@plasma.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %@group LAP-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LAP-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@e-mailaddress ludwig@plasma.inpe.br %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark B1_ASTRONOMIA_/_FÍSICA %F lattes: 0539216632539840 1 LudwigAndrGryaTodd:2009:PhPeAn %@issn 0029-5515 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao@80/2009/07.13.14.32.38 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Euratom-UKAEA Fusion Association, Culham Science Center %@affiliation Euratom-UKAEA Fusion Association, Culham Science Center %B Nuclear Fusion %P 1-20 %4 dpi.inpe.br/plutao@80/2009/07.13.14.32 %D 2009 %V 49 %@doi 10.1088/0029-5515/49/8/085026 %A Ludwig, Gerson Otto, %A Andrade, M C R, %A Gryaznevich, M P, %A Todd, T N, %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES. %@area FISPLASMA
