High-confinement mode or H-mode is an operating mode possible in toroidal magnetic confinement fusion devices - mostly tokamaks but also in stellarators.[1] In this mode the plasma is more stable and better confined.

It was discovered by Fritz Wagner in 1982 during neutral beam heating of the plasma at ASDEX.[1]

ITER is planned to operate in H-mode.
