Interaction between a magnetic island and turbulence has been intensively studied in recent
years with advance of plasma diagnostics in various plasma experiment devices such as …

This paper reviews the effects of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) on classical tearing
modes (TMs) and neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) from the theory, experimental …

The onset of a neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) depends on the existence of a large
enough seed island. It is shown in the Joint European Torus that NTMs can be readily …

Using data-driven methodology, we exploit the time series of relevant plasma parameters for
a large set of disrupted and non-disrupted discharges to develop a classification algorithm …

Strongly-shaped diverted negative triangularity (NT) plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak
demonstrate simultaneous access to high normalized density, current, pressure, and …

Neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) are magnetic islands which increase locally the radial
transport and therefore degrade the plasma performance. They are self-sustained by the …

Utilizing a capability to vary neutral beam torque injection in the DIII-D [JL Luxon, Nucl.
Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] tokamak, m∕ n= 2∕ 1 neoclassical tearing mode onset thresholds …

We present state-of-the-art computations of propagation and absorption of electron cyclotron
waves, retaining the effects of scattering due to electron density fluctuations. In ITER …

ITER plasma control design solutions and performance requirements are strongly driven by
its nuclear mission, aggressive commissioning constraints, and limited number of …

A neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) requires a finite size seed island to become unstable.
Usually the local pressure gradient is relatively large at the β-values needed for these seed …
