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…

Reduced fluid-kinetic equations for low-frequency dynamics, magnetic reconnection and electron heating in low-beta plasmas
Alessandro Zocco, Alexander Schekochihin
A minimal model for magnetic reconnection and, generally, low-frequency dynamics in low-beta plasmas is proposed. The model combines analytical and computational simplicity with ph…
