Description

Critical stability issues involving magnetic reconnection, which are likely to influence the successful operation of burning plasma experiments, are addressed. In particular, we discuss: 1) sawtooth oscillations; 2) nonlinear tearing mode stability, including neo-classical effects; reconnection near the X-points of magnetic separatrices. (author)
