Minimum-q induced alternation between infernal modes and EP-driven modes in advanced tokamak configurations

Shiwei Xue, Ping Zhu, Haolong Li

For an advanced tokamak configuration in the presence of energetic particles (EPs), the dominant instability is found to alternate between infernal modes and Alfvén eigenmodes with…

Influence of plasma shaping on the parity of core-localized toroidal Alfvén eigenmode in an advanced tokamak configuration

Shiwei Xue, Ping Zhu, Haolong Li

Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs) and energetic particle modes (EPMs) can both be excited by energetic particles from auxiliary heating and fusion-born alpha particles in a tokamak…

Effects of zero and reversed magnetic shear on resistive wall modes in a limiter tokamak plasma

Sui Wan, Ping Zhu, Haolong Li +1

Advanced tokamak scenarios often feature equilibriums with zero and reversed magnetic shear. To isolate and investigate their impacts on the resistive wall mode (RWM) instability a…
