A recent study [1] about the scaling with the aspect ratio (i.e. the ratio between the major and minor radius of the torus) of the dominant mode in Single Helical (SH) Reverse Field Pinch (RFP) plasmas has shown, at intermediate aspect…
In this paper a new idea is presented which is able to predict the scaling law with the aspect ratio for the toroidal mode number of the so called Single Helicity states in Reversed Field Pinch plasmas. The model starts considering the pure…
