Abstract:Controlled ‘soft’ H-L transitions with a simultaneous ramp-down of plasma density and stored energy, by applying resonant magnetic perturbations (n = 2 RMPs), relevant to the control of ITER terminations, are achieved in the EAST tokamak. These H-mode plasmas are run at median electron densities and a low safety factor q95 (q95 = 3.5−4.0) under neutral beam injection (NBI) dominant heating. During a slow ramp in the RMP current the internal transport barrier for the electron density collapses at beginning and … Show more
