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…

Suppressing Trapped-Electron-Mode-Driven Turbulence via Optimization of Three-Dimensional Shaping
J. M. Duff, B. J. Faber, C. C. Hegna +2
Turbulent transport driven by trapped electron modes (TEMs) is believed to drive significant heat and particle transport in quasihelically symmetric stellarators. Two three-dimensi…
