Tokamak Plasma Equilibria and Axisymmetric Stability with a Zero Total Toroidal Current
Several tokamak experiments have reported the existence of plasma equilibria with a zero total toroidal current in their AC operations. By taking a plasma profile model based on linear functions of the poloidal flux function ψ , a variety of equilibrium configurations with a zero total toroidal current have been found. The MHD_N0 stability code [1] is able to compute axisymmetric mode stability...
متن کاملMHD stability of advanced tokamak scenarios with reversed central current: an explanation of the "current hole".
A region of zero current density in the plasma center has been observed in the advanced tokamak scenarios with off-axis lower-hybrid current drive in the JET and JT-60U tokamak experiments. Significantly, the central current density does not become negative, although this is expected based on conventional current diffusion. In this paper, it is shown that the zero central current density and th...
متن کاملUniversal Central Extension of Current Superalgebras
Representation as well as central extension are two of the most important concepts in the theory of Lie (super)algebras. Apart from the interest of mathematicians, the attention of physicist are also drawn to these two subjects because of the significant amount of their applications in Physics. In fact for physicists, the study of projective representations of Lie (super)algebras are very impo...
متن کاملEquilibria and Stability of Jet Discharges with Zero Core Current Density
Injection of Lower Hybrid Heating and Current Drive (LHCD) into the current ramp-up phase of JET discharges can produce extremely reversed q-profiles characterized by a core region of near zero current density (within Motional Stark Effect diagnostic measurement errors). Non-inductive, off-axis co-current drive induces a back electromotive force inside the non-inductive current radius that driv...
متن کاملCurrent Profile Modification with Electron Cyclotron Current Drive in the Diiiðd Tokamak*
Proof-of-principle experiments on the suitability of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) for active current profile control are reported. Experiments with second harmonic extraordinary mode absorption at power levels near 1 MW have demonstrated ability to modify the current profile. This modification is manifested in changes in the internal inductance and the time at which sawteeth appear. ...
