Journal ArticleDOI

Self-organized helical equilibria as a new paradigm for ohmically heated fusion plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of a reversed-field-pinch plasma towards a self-organized single-helicity state suggests that instability problems, which have previously hindered the development of these devices, could now be overcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic self organization, MHD active control and confinement in RFX-mod

TL;DR: Clean mode control (CMC) as mentioned in this paper was proposed to correct the aliasing of the sideband harmonics generated by the discrete saddle coils in real time, which leads to a smoother (i.e. more axisymmetric) boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Edge temperature and density measurements with a thermal helium beam in the RFX reversed field pinch

TL;DR: In this paper, the edge temperature and density at the edge plasma of the reversed field pinch experiment RFX are measured from the intensity ratio of selected spectral lines emitted by an atomic thermal helium beam injected into the plasma discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microtearing Modes in Reversed Field Pinch Plasmas

TL;DR: Gyrokinetic calculations show that in the region of the strong temperature gradients microtearing instabilities are the dominant turbulent mechanism acting on the ion Larmor radius scale.
