On How Avalanches Penetrate the SOL and Broaden Heat Loads
Y. Kosuga, R. Matsui, P. H. Diamond
Recent experiments reported a correlation between power law core temperature spectra and emission, suggesting that heat avalanches penetrate the SOL. This paper derives a th…

Impurity Parallel Velocity Gradient instability
Jeanne Bourgeois, Maxime Lesur, Guillermo Cuerva Lazaro +1
In magnetized plasmas, a radial gradient of parallel velocity, where parallel refers to the direction of magnetic field, can destabilise an electrostatic mode called Parallel Veloc…
