Description

Small-scale quasicoherent oscillations of the x-ray emissivity and magnetic field perturbations are observed in the T-10 tokamak during abrupt growth of the m=2, n=1 magnetohydrodynamic modes at the density limit disruption. Analysis indicates a possible link between the small-scale oscillations and nonthermal electron beams induced around the X points of the m=2, n=1 magnetic island during reconnection of magnetic field lines at the disruption instability
