Kinetic microtearing modes and reconnecting modes in strongly magnetised slab plasmas
A Zocco, N F Loureiro, D Dickinson +2
The problem of the linear microtearing mode in a slab magnetised plasma, and its connection to kinetic reconnecting modes, is addressed. Electrons are described using a novel hybri…
Structure of Micro-instabilities in Tokamak Plasmas: Stiff Transport or Plasma Eruptions?
D. Dickinson, C. M. Roach, J. M. Skipp +1
Solutions to a model 2D eigenmode equation describing micro-instabilities in tokamak plasmas are presented that demonstrate a sensitivity of the mode structure and stability to pla…
Neoclassical and gyrokinetic analysis of time-dependent helium transport experiments on MAST
S. S. Henderson, L. Garzotti, F. J. Casson +8
Time-dependent helium gas puff experiments have been performed on the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) during a two point plasma current scan in L-mode and a confinement scan a…
Microstability analysis of pellet fuelled discharges in MAST
L. Garzotti, J. Figueiredo, C. M. Roach +7
Reactor grade plasmas are likely to be fuelled by pellet injection. This technique transiently perturbs the profiles, driving the density profile hollow and flattening the edge tem…
