Effect of resonant magnetic perturbations on low collisionality discharges in MAST and a comparison with ASDEX Upgrade
A. Kirk, W. Suttrop, Yueqiang Liu +19
Sustained ELM mitigation has been achieved on MAST and AUG using RMPs with a range of toroidal mode numbers over a wide region of low to medium collisionality discharges. The ELM e…
The Role of Thermal Conduction in Tearing Mode Theory
J. W. Connor, C. J. Ham, R. J. Hastie +1
The role of anisotropic thermal diffusivity on tearing mode stability is analysed in general toroidal geometry. A dispersion relation linking the growth rate to the tearing mode st…
ELM mitigation via rotating resonant magnetic perturbations on MAST
A. J. Thornton, A. Kirk, P. Cahyna +7
The application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) produces splitting of the divertor strike point due to the interaction of the RMP field and the plasma field. The applicat…
Measurement, correction and implications of the intrinsic error fields on MAST
A. Kirk, Yueqiang Liu, R. Martin +3
The misalignment of field coils in tokamaks can lead to toroidal asymmetries in the magnetic field, which are known as intrinsic error fields. These error fields often lead to the…
Tearing mode stability calculations with pressure flattening
C J Ham, J W Connor, S C Cowley +3
Calculations of tearing mode stability in tokamaks split conveniently into an external region, where marginally stable ideal MHD is applicable, and a resonant layer around the rati…
Characteristics of X-point Lobe Structures in Single-Null Discharges on MAST
J. R. Harrison, A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman +4
Lobe structures due to the application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) have been observed using wide-angle imaging of light from He1+ ions in the vicinity of the lower X-…
