| Description/Abstract | The maximum beta which can be sustained for a long pulse in ITER-shaped plasmas in DIII-D with q{sub 95} {approx_gt} 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 = {infinity} ballooning and n = 1 kink ideal limits. |
