Description
Recent experimental and theoretical research at Columbia University on MHD stability limits of tokamaks is summarized. Data obtained from Torus II indicate that it can operate in the second, high-beta stable regime with β(0) approximately 30%, average value of β) approximately 10%, nsub(e)(0) approximately 3x1021m-3 and T approximately 100eV. As the plasma cools, density fluctuations characteristic of a ballooning instability are observed. Simulations are compared with experimental observations. Theoretical results for ballooning and kink-mode instabilities are described. (author)
