Sawtooth oscillations, driven by internal kink modes (IKMs), are fundamental phenomena in tokamak plasmas. They can be classified into different types, including normal sawteeth, small sawteeth, and in some cases, evolving into the…
The application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) with a toroidal mode number of n=4 or n=6 to lower single null plasmas in the MAST tokamak produces up to a factor of 5 increase in Edge Localized Mode (ELM) frequency and reduction…
Fusion power production in tokamaks uses discharge configurations that risk producing strong Type I Edge Localized Modes. The largest of these modes will likely increase impurities in the plasma and potentially damage plasma facing…
