L-mode, or low confinement mode, is a regime of tokamak operation. In contrast to H-mode, there is no prominent transport barrier at the edge of the plasma and energy confinement time is typically about half of what can be achieved in H-mode. L-mode occurs at low input power; increasing power above a threshold[1] prompts a transition[2] into H-mode.
