Abstract :
The five ARIES designs, which correspond to five different tokamak operating modes, are reviewed and compared. Physics figures of merit are introduced that quantify the major parameters of a tokamak design in a physics operating space. The five operating modes are compared to one another and to the existing tokamak data base in terms of these physics parameters. While the steady-state first stability design [ARIES-I] and the pulsed first stability design [PULSAR] are closest, no design has yet been completely prototyped in existing tokamaks.
