This paper reviews the research on the reversed field pinch (RFP) in the last three decades.
Substantial experimental and theoretical progress and transformational changes have been …

Recent studies on RFP and Tokamak devices call for an active control of the MHD and
resistive wall modes to induce plasma mode rotation and to prevent mode phase locking …

RFX-mod is a Reversed Field Pinch device that allowed performing experiments in regimes
with a plasma current up to 2 MA, thanks to its MHD active control system. Experiments have …

The formation and breakup of the “slinky mode” in a Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) is
investigated analytically. The slinky mode is a toroidally localized, coherent interference …

In this paper the characterization of a thin (tens of nanometers) boron layer on fine grain
polycrystalline graphite substrate is presented. The boron film is used as conditioning …

Locked (ie, nonrotating) dynamo modes give rise to a serious edge loading problem during
the operation of high current reversed field pinches. Rotating dynamo modes generally have …

A reversed field pinch RFP is a toroidal magnetic configuration for thermonuclear plasma
confinement characterized by a short and rapidly varying helical pitch of the magnetic field …

The externally applied loop voltage, required to drive current carrying magnetic
configurations, such as tokamaks or reversed field pinches (RFP), can induce currents …

The nonlinear dynamics of a typical dynamo mode in a reversed field pinch, under the action
of the braking torque due to eddy currents excited in a resistive vacuum vessel and the …

The RFX reversed field pinch (RFP) is undergoing major modifications of the load assembly
and will be equipped with a large number of external coils for active magnetohydrodynamics …
