Electron Cyclotron Emission Refraction Effects during Edge Localized Modes
During ‘Type III’ ELMs on Alcator C-Mod, electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics show brief signal drops of second harmonic X-mode and signal increases of fundamental harmonic O-mode. These are explained in terms of refraction effects and found to be useful to infer the associated ELM geometrical dimensions. A new ray tracing code, which can accommodate poloidal variations, has been devel...
متن کاملEffect of nonlinear wave–particle interaction on electron-cyclotron absorption
We perform a self-consistent analysis of the nonlinear interaction of magnetized plasmas with electron-cyclotron (EC) waves. A closed set of equations is derived, which consists of the relativistic equations of motion under the wave field and the wave equation for the vector potential. The plasma is described in terms of ensembles of electrons which collectively determine the evolution of the w...
متن کاملElectron cyclotron current drive efficiency in an axisymmetric tokamak
The neoclassical transport theory is applied to calculate electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) efficiency in an axisymmetric tokamak in the low-collisionality regime. The tokamak ordering is used to obtain a system of equations that describe the dynamics of the plasma where the nonlinear ponderomotive (PM) force due to high-power RF waves is included. The PM force is produced around an elect...
متن کاملAnomalous electron trapping by localized magnetic fields
We consider an electron with an anomalous magnetic moment g > 2 confined to a plane and interacting with a nonzero magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane. We show that if B has compact support and the magnetic flux in the natural units is F ≥ 0, the corresponding Pauli Hamiltonian has at least 1 + [F ] bound states, without making any assumptions about the field profile. Furthermore, in th...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of magnetic islands in presence of interchange turbulence
In this work, we study the interaction between a tearing mode and a pressure gradient instability (resistive interchange) by solving reduced MHD equations numerically. The numerical study shows existence of regimes where thetearing instability is driven by the pressure gradient. An interplay between the pressure and the magnetic flux controls the dynamics of the saturated state. A secondary ins...
