Second stability studies in a helical axis device: TJ-II

  • 1. Asociacion EURATOM/CIEMAT para Fusion, Madrid (Spain)

Description

The helical hard core in the four period TJ-II heliac permits to access a variety of magnetic configurations with very different MHD properties. In this paper a particular set of shearless configurations is presented with similar rotational transform at the magnetic axis, ≅1.20, and slightly different values of the magnetic well, that exhibit self-stabilization behavior to Mercier modes characteristic of a second stability regime.
