Controlling Tokamak Geometry with 3D Magnetic Perturbations
Thomas M Bird, Chris C Hegna
It is shown that small externally applied magnetic perturbations can significantly alter important geometric properties of magnetic flux surfaces in tokamaks. Through 3D shaping, e…

A model for microinstability destabilization and enhanced transport in the presence of shielded 3-D magnetic perturbations
Thomas Bird, Chris Hegna
A mechanism is presented that suggests shielded 3-D magnetic perturbations can destabilize microinstabilities and enhance the associated anomalous transport. Using local 3-D equili…
