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

Fluctuation and transport reduction in a reversed field pinch by inductive poloidal current drive

TL;DR: An auxiliary poloidal inductive electric field applied to a reserved field pinch plasma reduces the current density gradient, slows the growth of tearing fluctuations, suppresses their associated sawteeth, and doubles the energy confinement time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased confinement and β by inductive poloidal current drive in the reversed field pinch

TL;DR: In this article, inductive poloidal current drive for current profile control in the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed field pinch, leading to reduced energy and particle transport.
