JT-60SA, the largest tokamak that will operate before ITER, has been designed and built jointlyby Japan and Europe, and is due to start operation in 2020. Its main missions are to support ITERexploitation and to contribute to the demonstration fusion reactor machine and scenario design.Peculiar properties of JT-60SA are its capability to produce long-pulse, high-β,and highlyshaped plasmas. The preparation of the JT-60SA Research Plan, plasma scenarios, andexploitation are producing physics results that are not only relevant to future JT-60SAexperiments, but often constitute original contributions to plasma physics and fusion research.Results of this kind are presented in this paper, in particular in the areas of fast ion physics, high-beta plasma properties and control, and non-linear edge localised mode stability studies.
