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…

Unified theory of the semi-collisional tearing mode and internal kink mode in a hot tokamak: implications for sawtooth modelling
J. W. Connor, R. J. Hastie, A. Zocco
In large hot tokamaks like JET, the width of the reconnecting layer for resistive modes is determined by semi-collisional electron dynamics and is much less than the ion Larmor rad…
