Control of error-field modes and ELMs in ITER-shaped plasmas in COMPASS-D

  • 1. Euratom-UKAEA Fusion Association, Abingdon (United Kingdom). UKAEA Government Div., Fusion, Culham Lab.

Description

Studies on several devices, together with theoretical models, now indicate that large tokamaks are likely to suffer from error-filed instabilities, especially m=2, n=1 magnetic islands, even with the lowest magnetic error field level reasonably achievable. Experiments on COMPASS-D to demonstrate techniques using externally applied helical fields and ECRH for prevention and/or removal of error-field driven islands are discussed. Similar techniques are applied to attempt to produce ELMs or change the ELM frequency in H-modes in single-null divertor plasmas on COMPASS-D. (author). 14 refs, 6 figs
