Drift-tearing instabilities due to trapped electrons

Creators

Description

It is shown that the collisional detrapping of magnetically trapped electrons in tokamaks can excite drift-tearing modes with high azimuthal mode numbers. For normal temperature gradients (d ln T/sub e//d ln n greater than 0), the modes are unstable in the collisional regime (ν/sub eff/ greater than ω/sub *e/), but stable in the collisionless regime
