The sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas results in a periodic reorganization of the core
plasma. A typical sawtooth cycle consists of a quiescent period, during which the plasma …

In this review of plasma polarimetry, first the theory is discussed in general, then exact
analytic solutions of the evolution equation for polarization are presented, as well as …

The Sawtooth instability is a familiar feature in Tokamak plasmas. It appears as a regularly
recurring reorganisation of the core plasma. A brief survey of the experimental observations …

Abstract Analysis of MHD activity in pellet enhanced performance (PEP) pulses is used to
determine the position of rational surfaces associated with the safety factor q. This gives …

An efficient full domain method for plasma equilibrium construction in iron core tokamaks is
described. Illustrative calculations and comparison with results obtained from a finite domain …

A new model based on a combination of a Bohm-like term plus a gyro-Bohm-like term is
proposed for the electron and ion heat diffusivity in the L mode regime, which is the …

Magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium reconstructions with kinetic constraints are an essential
input of many tokamak stability and transport analysis workflows. The reconstructions …

Magnetic confinement nuclear fusion holds great promise as a source of clean and
sustainable energy for the future. However, achieving net energy from fusion reactors …
