Alfvénic high-frequency oscillations at the pedestal of JET plasmas

Leonor Roque, Paulo Rodrigues, Emilia R. Solano +2

Long-lived ( s) high-frequency oscillations (HFOs, kHz) near the plasma edge have been reported and experimentally described in L-H transition studies at JET and…

High-order coupling of shear and sonic continua in JET plasmas

Paulo Rodrigues, Duarte Borba, Francesca Cella +8

A recent model coupling the shear-Alfvén and acoustic continua, which depends strongly on the equilibrium shaping and on elongation in particular, is employed to explain the proper…

High-order geodesic coupling of shear-Alfvén and acoustic continua in tokamaks

Paulo Rodrigues, Francesca Cella

High-order plasma shaping (mainly elongation and shift, as opposed to low-order toroidicity) is shown, under certain conditions, to open gaps in the coupled shear-Alfvén and acoust…

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…

Local up-down asymmetrically shaped equilibrium model for tokamak plasmas

Paulo Rodrigues, André Coroado

A local magnetic equilibrium model is presented, with finite aspect ratio and up-down asymmetrically shaped cross section, that depends on eight free parameters. In contrast with o…

Comprehensive evaluation of the linear stability of Alfvén eigenmodes driven by alpha particles in an ITER baseline scenario

A. C. A. Figueiredo, P. Rodrigues, D. Borba +8

The linear stability of Alfvén eigenmodes in the presence of fusion-born alpha particles is thoroughly assessed for two variants of an ITER baseline scenario, which differ signific…
