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 …

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 RFX-mod machine (Sonato et al 2003 Fusion Eng. Des. 66 161) recently achieved, for
the first time in a reversed-field pinch, high plasma current up to 1.6 MA with good …

Nonlinear fluid modelling predictions of qualitatively new self-organized helical states in the
reversed-field pinch configuration are confirmed by experiments in the RFX-mod device. The …

Disruption-generated runaway electron (RE) beams represent a potentially severe threat for
tokamak plasma-facing components. Application of properly designed 3D fields can act as a …

This paper reports the main recent results of the RFX-mod fusion science activity. The RFX-
mod device is characterized by a unique flexibility in terms of accessible magnetic …

Disruptions caused by tearing modes (TMs) are considered to be one of the most critical
roadblocks to achieving reliable, steady-state operation of tokamak fusion reactors. Here we …

A general analysis of the feedback on the dynamo tearing modes (TMs) in a cylindrical force-
free reversed field pinch equipped with an active coils grid is shown. A single resistive shell …

The study of electron temperature profiles of quasi-single helical states (QSH) in RFX-Mod
(and, in general, in other RFP machines) was carried out in the past mainly using Thomson …

The ITER scenarios and the project of DEMO involve stable operation above the Greenwald
density, which justifies efforts to understand and overcome the density limit, this last …
