Abstract
Abstract During its 40 years of operations, the Joint European Torus (JET) tokamak has consistently pushed the physics and engineering boundaries of fusion research, providing the scientific community with a unique testing ground for theories and innovative ideas. This paper covers a selection of remarkable contributions of JET to various fields of tokamak science, from transport and plasma heating studies to plasma-wall interaction and D-T experiments, and their impact on the fusion research progress.
