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 …

An auxiliary poloidal inductive electric field applied to a reserved field pinch plasma reduces
the current density gradient, slows the growth of m= 1 tearing fluctuations, suppresses their …

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 …

We report the results of an experimental and theoretical international project dedicated to
the study of quasi-single helicity (QSH) reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas. The project has …

With the addition of inductive poloidal current drive for current profile control in the Madison
Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed field pinch, the magnetic fluctuation amplitude halves …

Current-carrying, toroidal laboratory plasmas typically cannot be sustained with an electron
density above the empirical Greenwald limit. Presented here are tokamak experiments in the …

Ion temperatures have been measured in the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST)[Dexter et al.,
Fusion Technol. 19, 131 (1991)] reversed‐field pinch (RFP) with a five channel charge …

The onset of turbulent heat transport at a higher temperature gradient than the critical
gradient of linear instability, known as the Dimits shift, is a recurring feature of nonlinear …

Noncollisional ion heating in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas and the mechanism of
conversion of magnetic energy to ion thermal energy are not well understood. In the …

We report the first nonlinear three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical
simulations of the reversed-field pinch (RFP) that exhibit a systematic repetition of …
