Chapter 3: MHD stability, operational limits and disruptions

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), is reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of Neoclassical Tearing modes by sawtooth control

TL;DR: It is shown in the Joint European Torus that NTMs can be readily destabilized by long-period sawteeth, such as obtained by sawtooth stabilization from ion-cyclotron heating or current drive, which has important implications for burning plasma scenarios, as alpha particles strongly stabilize the saweeth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internal transport barrier triggering by rational magnetic flux surfaces in tokamaks

TL;DR: The role of rational q surfaces in ITB triggering stresses the importance of q profile control for an advanced tokamak scenario and could assist in substantially lowering the access power to these scenarios in next step facilities as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonaxisymmetric field effects on Alcator C-Moda)

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of external coils (A-coils) capable of producing nonaxisymmetric, predominantly n=1, fields with different toroidal phase and a range of poloidal mode m spectra has been used to determine the threshold amplitude for mode locking in Alcator C-Mod.
