Disruptive instability in tokamaks

Journal Article · · Sov. Tech. Phys. Lett. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:7147025
The internal disruptive instability recently found in the ST tokamak finds a natural explanation in terms of the onset of the m = 1 internal mode, which leads to a reclosing of the helical lines of force and to a current redistribution. A possible mechanism for the ordinary (external) disruptive instability is discussed.
