Effect of resonant magnetic perturbations on COMPASS-C tokamak discharges
T. C. Hender,Richard Fitzpatrick,A. W. Morris,P. G. Carolan,R.D. Durst,T. Edlington,Jorge Ferreira,S.J. Fielding,P.S. Haynes,J. Hugill,I. Jenkins,R.J. La Haye,B.J. Parham,D.C. Robinson,T.N. Todd,M. Valovic,G. Vayakis +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that externally applied static resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) induce stationary magnetic islands, which give rise to a significant degradation in energy and particle confinement, suppression of the sawtooth oscillation and a large change in the impurity ion toroidal velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical error fields for locked mode instability in tokamaks
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a much larger relative error field (Br21/BT ≊ 1 × 10−3) is required to produce a locked mode in the small, rapidly rotating plasma of COMPASS•C (R0 = 0.56 m, f≊13 kHz) than in the medium-sized plasmas of DIII•D (R 0 = 1.67 m,f≊1.6 kHz), where the critical relative error fields is Br21/ BT ≊ 2 × 10 −4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driven magnetic reconnection in the COMPASS‐C tokamak
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of nonaxisymmetric field perturbations on tokamaks is investigated, and the results indicate the tolerable error fields in future tokams.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A.C. Barke,M. Cox,J.R. Harbar,J.H. Hay,J.B. Hicks,J.W. Hill,D. Hurford,J.S. McKenzie,A. W. Morris,M.P.S. Nightingale,T.N. Todd,G.M. Voss,J.R. Watkins +12 more
TL;DR: A Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (known as MAST) is proposed to be constructed at Culham Laboratory as discussed by the authors, with the aim is to continue the highly successful tight aspect ratio work pioneered on the START machine.
Journal ArticleDOI
ECRH current drive studies in the CLEO tokamak
B. Lloyd,T. Edlington,M.R. O'Brien,N.R. Ainsworth,M. W. Alcock,P. R. Collins,M. Cox,A.N. Dellis,A.C. Riviere,D.C. Robinson,A. Simonetto,D.F.H. Start,T.N. Todd +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-inductive current drive using second harmonic ECRH at both 28 GHz and 60 GHz has been studied in the CLEO tokamak.
