Electromagnetic pressure-gradient-driven instabilities with moderate high mode numbers in tokamak plasmas
Yann Narbutt, Ksenia Aleynikova, Matthias Borchardt +6
Pressure gradient-driven instabilities are investigated in tokamak plasmas using the global gyrokinetic code EUTERPE emphasizing the role of moderate high mode numbers. As the norm…

A comparison of low-n Mercier unstable Wendelstein stellarators and quasi-interchange modes in tokamaks
Rohan Ramasamy, Haowei Zhang, Joachim Geiger +5
Mercier's criterion is typically enforced as a hard operational limit in stellarator design. At the same time, past experimental and numerical studies have shown that this limit ma…
