<p><b>New page</b></p><div>L-mode, or low confinement mode, is a regime of tokamak operation. In contrast to [[H-mode]], there is no prominent [[pedestal|transport barrier at the edge of the plasma]] and [[energy confinement time]] <math>\tau_E</math> is typically about half of what can be achieved in H-mode.
