The pursuit of steady-state economic production of thermonuclear fusion energy has led to
research on the stabilization of the external kink and the resistive wall mode. Advances in …

Poloidal and toroidal rotation has been recognized to play an important role in heat transport
and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability in tokamaks and helical systems. It is well known …

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has shown immense potential for learning to control
systems through data alone. However, one challenge deep RL faces is that the full state of …

A self-consistent kinetic model is developed to study the stability of the resistive wall mode in
toroidal plasmas. This model is compared with other models based on perturbative …

This paper discusses the behaviour and consequences of the expected populations of
energetic ions in ITER plasmas. It begins with a careful analytic and numerical consideration …

MAST plasmas with a safety factor above unity and a profile with either weakly reversed
shear or broad low-shear regions, regularly exhibit long-lived saturated ideal …

Control for tokamaks, the leading candidate technology for nuclear fusion, is an important
pursuit since the realization of nuclear fusion as an energy source would result in virtually …

Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) have extensively been demonstrated as a
plausible technique for mitigating or suppressing large edge localized modes (ELMs) …

Stabilizing modes that limit plasma beta and reduce their deleterious effect on plasma
rotation are key goals for the efficient operation of a fusion reactor. Passive stabilization and …

Experimental observation of resistive wall mode (RWM) instability in the National Spherical
Torus Ex<? format?> periment (NSTX) at plasma rotation levels intermediate to the ion …
