Abstract: In a recent work, we have shown that the plasma flow around the magnetic island can excite the beta-induced Alfven eigenmode (BAE) (Marchenko et al 2016 Nucl. Fusion 56 106021). In the present communication, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1741-4326/ac0411
Abstract: We report confinement bifurcations due to flux tunneling in magnetic islands in toroidal plasmas. This occurs in 2/1 islands, triggered by decoupling of non-overlapping adjacent 5/2 islands. While subject to electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.128.085001
Abstract: A new type of self-sustained divertor oscillation is discovered in the Large Helical Device stellarator, where the peripheral plasma is detached from material diverters by means of externally applied perturbation fields. The divertor oscillation is… read more here.
