On the Cover

Spectrogram showing the time evolution of soft x-ray emission from plasma in the core of the MegaAmp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) after a discharge; the vertical axis is frequency and the horizontal one is time. Spectrograms such as this are used to study the physics of neoclassical tearing modes, which can limit plasma confinement.
