Description

The maximum beta that can be sustained for a long pulse in ITER shaped plasmas in DIII-D with q95 >or equivalent 3, ELMs and sawteeth is found to be limited by resistive tearing modes, particularly m/n = 3/2 and 2/1. At low collisionality comparable to that which will occur in ITER, the beta limit is a factor of two below the usually expected n = ∞ ballooning and n = 1 kink ideal limits.
