Twin loops for vertical control of highly elongated plasma

Description

The plasma shape in the proposed ITER tokamak will be highly elongated, necessitating stabilization of the vertical instability. A method of passive stabilization using twin loops has been examined as part of the ITER Conceptual Design Activities. Results are given in this report. Comparison with the saddle loop concept details the advantages of the twin loops. 5 refs, 8 figs, 2 tabs
