Abstract: Spontaneous neoclassical tearing modes (spontaneous NTMs) have been observed in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). Recently, a TRANSP based model for the modified Rutherford equation analysis was developed to accurately predict the effect of… read more here.

Abstract: Periodic destabilization of a neoclassical tearing mode (NTM, m/n = 2/1) in between two edge localized modes (ELMs) is observed with a varying frequency that deviates from the wave-particle resonance determined precession frequency, is instead… read more here.
