Dynamics of a reconnection-driven runaway ion tail in a reversed field pinch plasma

Journal Article Anderson, J. K., E-mail: jkanders@wisc.edu ; Kim, J. ; Bonofiglo, P. J. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

While reconnection-driven ion heating is common in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, the underlying mechanisms for converting magnetic to kinetic energy remain not fully understood. Reversed field pinch discharges are often characterized by rapid ion heating during impulsive reconnection, generating an ion distribution with an enhanced bulk temperature, mainly perpendicular to magnetic field. In the Madison Symmetric Torus, a subset of discharges with the strongest reconnection events develop a very anisotropic, high energy tail parallel to magnetic field in addition to bulk perpendicular heating, which produces a fusion neutron flux orders of magnitude higher than that expected from a Maxwellian distribution.more »« less

Observation of trapped-electron-mode microturbulence in reversed field pinch plasmas

Journal Article Duff, J. R. ; Williams, Z. R. ; Brower, D. L. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Density fluctuations in the large-density-gradient region of improved confinement Madison Symmetric Torus reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas exhibit multiple features that are characteristic of the trapped-electron mode (TEM). Core transport in conventional RFP plasmas is governed by magnetic stochasticity stemming from multiple long-wavelength tearing modes. Using inductive current profile control, these tearing modes are reduced, and global confinement is increased to that expected for comparable tokamak plasmas. Under these conditions, new short-wavelength fluctuations distinct from global tearing modes appear in the spectrum at a frequency of f ~ 50 kHz, which have normalized perpendicular wave numbers k_⊥ρ_s≲0.2 and propagate inmore »« less

Dissipation in the magnetic turbulence of reversed field pinch plasmas

Journal Article Titus, J. B. ; Almagri, A. F. ; Terry, P. W. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas are subject to tearing instability that creates a broad spectrum of magnetic fluctuations. The dominant fluctuations have poloidal and toroidal mode numbers (m,n)=(1,6−10) and can grow to 2–3% of the mean magnetic field. Through nonlinear coupling, this growth culminates in a strong reconnection event and broadening of the magnetic spectrum extending to the ion gyroradius scale. Multiple developments occur during the reconnection stage: ions and electrons are energized, magnetic fluctuation amplitudes increase, plasma flow is halted, and the toroidal magnetic flux increases in a sawtooth-like fashion as the RFP dynamo becomes stronger. Magnetic fluctuations aremore »« less

Evidence for drift waves in the turbulence of reversed field pinch plasmas

Journal Article Thuecks, D. J. ; Almagri, A. F. ; Sarff, J. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A detailed characterization of the high-frequency range of the fluctuation spectrum in reversed field pinch plasmas is presented, revealing a variety of new features distinct from global tearing modes and the cascade that they are thought to drive. The anisotropic broadband spectrum of the fluctuating electric field is measured. The power in the fluctuating kinetic energy (1/2) m(i)n(i)(V) over tilde (2)((E) over tilde xB0), previously measured to be smaller than the magnetic energy in the tearing-mode-unstable frequency range, becomes greater than and diverges from the magnetic energy above 60-80 kHz. The lack of equipartition at high frequencies coincides with themore »« less

Electromagnetic energy transport by tearing fluctuations in a self-organized reversed-field pinch plasma

Journal Article Thuecks, Derek J. ; McCollam, Karsten J. - Journal of Plasma Physics

Fluctuation measurements reveal the outward electromagnetic energy flux needed to drive the dynamo electromotive force supporting magnetic self-organization in a reversed-field pinch plasma. The radial Poynting flux due to tearing mode fluctuations is measured with an insertable probe during magnetic relaxation. This flux corresponds to transient power levels much larger than the input power and comparable to the global equilibrium magnetic energy transient loss rate. The probe measurements of this flux are roughly as predicted by a simple Poynting's theorem model upon substitution of equilibrium measurement data.
