Quasilinear drift kinetic theory of alpha particle transport by neoclassical tearing modes
Elizabeth A. Tolman, Peter J. Catto
Kinetic theory of particles near resonances is a current topic of discussion in plasma physics and astrophysics. We extend this discussion to the kinetic theory of the interaction…
Drift kinetic theory of alpha transport by tokamak perturbations
Elizabeth A. Tolman, Peter J. Catto
Upcoming tokamak experiments fueled with deuterium and tritium are expected to have large alpha particle populations. Such experiments motivate new attention to the theory of alpha…
Neutron diagnostics for the physics of a high-field, compact, tokamak
R. A. Tinguely, A. Rosenthal, R. Simpson +18
Advancements in high temperature superconducting technology have opened a path toward high-field, compact fusion devices. This new parameter space introduces both opportunities and…
Dependence of alpha-particle-driven Alfvén eigenmode linear stability on device magnetic field strength and consequences for next-generation tokamaks
E. A. Tolman, N. F. Loureiro, P. Rodrigues +2
Recently-proposed tokamak concepts use magnetic fields up to 12 T, far higher than in conventional devices, to reduce size and cost. Theoretical and computational study of trends i…
Development of Tearing Instability in a Current Sheet Forming by Sheared Incompressible Flow
Elizabeth A. Tolman, Nuno F. Loureiro, Dmitri A. Uzdensky
Sweet-Parker current sheets in high Lundquist number plasmas are unstable to tearing, suggesting they will not form in physical systems. Understanding magnetic reconnection thus re…
