Resonant theory of kinetic ballooning modes in general toroidal geometry
P. Mulholland, A. Zocco, M. C. L. Morren +4
The linear theory of the kinetic-ballooning-mode (KBM) instability is extended to capture a weakly-driven regime in general toroidal geometry where the destabilization is caused by…

Influence of collisions on trapped-electron modes in tokamaks and low-shear stellarators
M. C. L. Morren, J. H. E. Proll, J. van Dijk +1
The influence of collisions on the growth rate of trapped-electron modes (TEMs) in core plasmas is assessed through both analytical linear gyrokinetics and linear gyrokinetic simul…
