Destabilization of resistive plasma resistive wall mode by anisotropic thermal transport

Resistive-Wall Destabilization of Diocotron Waves

tope effect is consistent with accepted classical and quantum mechanical models. This Letter also provides a scaling relationship accurate at intermediate energies for differential electroncapture cross sections which is expected to be applicable to other types of differential cross sections involving hydrogen-isotope projectiles. This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundati...

Resistive wall mode feedback stabilization in burning plasma experiments

We use a simple model [Garofalo, Jensen, and Strait, to be published in Phys. Plasmas] to analyze the systems for feedback stabilization of the resistive wall mode (RWM) in proposed burning plasma experiments. In ITER, the presence of several conducting structures close to the control coils, but far from the plasma, leads to a slow feedback response time compared to the time scale of the RWM gr...

Stabilization of the Resistive Wall Mode in Diii–d by Plasma Rotation and Magnetic Feedback

Resistive wall feedback stabilization

Effect of trapped energetic particles on the resistive wall mode.

A stability analysis for the resistive wall mode is studied in the presence of trapped energetic particles (EPs). When the EPs' beta exceeds a critical value, a fishbonelike bursting mode (FLM) with an external kink eigenstructure can exist. This offers the first analytic interpretation of the experimental observations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 045001 (2009)]. The mode-particle resonances for the ...
