Perturbative analysis of the tearing mode saturation
The saturation of the tearing mode in a plasma column is investigated in the framework of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics approximation. In particular, a perturbative procedure is adopted to evaluate the structure of the magnetic island in three relevant physical conditions, depending on the model for the evolution of the resistivity, which may be affected by the growth of the mode. In cylin...
متن کاملAnisotropic Electron Tail Generation during Tearing Mode Magnetic Reconnection.
The first experimental evidence of anisotropic electron energization during magnetic reconnection that favors a direction perpendicular to the guide magnetic field in a toroidal, magnetically confined plasma is reported in this Letter. Magnetic reconnection plays an important role in particle heating, energization, and transport in space and laboratory plasmas. In toroidal devices like the Madi...
متن کاملTemperature-Gradient-Driven Tearing Modes
The observation of spontaneous islands growth in tokamak experiments indicates that the tearing mode could also be linearly unstable. However, in the framework of resistive magnetohydrodynamics, previous works have demonstrated that drift effects, electron heat transport along magnetic field lines and ion Larmor radius effects have stabilizing effects. Recently, numerical calculations and analy...
متن کاملNonlinear electron magnetohydrodynamics physics. III. Electron energization
Wave-particle interactions of low-frequency whistler modes with wave magnetic fields exceeding the ambient field are investigated experimentally. These highly nonlinear modes are excited with magnetic loop antennas in a large magnetized afterglow plasma. While the nonlinear wave properties are described elsewhere, the present paper focuses on the modification of the electron distribution functi...
متن کاملTearing Mode Stabilization in Tokamaks with Lower Hybrid Waves
The possibility of using lower hybrid (LH) waves as a source of localized current for the control of MHD instabilities is investigated. A toroidal ray tracing code is used to define the requirements on the launched wave spectrum, in order to drive currents mostly localized inside the magnetic islands. Issues such as the radial diffusion of the non-inductive current, the impact of the radial pro...
