Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:10.44(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The current density is expected to be negative in the central region of the tokamak when the amplitude of bootstrap current or off-axis current drive is large enough and a negative one-turn voltage exists. However, a flat current profile with almost zero value has been observed in experiments. The current profile with Current Hole has a tendency to be unstable to double tearing mode and we investigate the role of double tearing mode on the formation of Current Hole with RMHD simulation.

Times Cited Count:13 Percentile:40.80(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)With the advent of high intensity short pulse lasers it has become possible to achieve extremely high intensities. When such laser pulses interact with high energy electron beams, radiation damping, which is usually small, can become large. We examine the effects of radiation damping on the backscattered Thomson radiation numerically and analytically. Using parameters comparable to the laser and microtron here at APRC we find that the overall spectrum is downshifted and that the overall amplitude of the radiation is smaller than in the case with no damping.

region change from oscillatory ones to stationary ones and suppress the turbulent transport effectively. This result indicates that the change of zonal flow behaviour in the minimum
region may trigger the formation of ion transport barriers.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:3.47(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)We develop the method for the stability analysis of a ideal external magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mode by solving the eigenvalue problem associated with the two-dimensional Newcomb equation, the inertia free linear ideal MHD equation. This eigenvalue problem can be expected to provide a powerful tool for not only a low-n external MHD mode but also a high-n mode, where n is a toroidal mode number. With this method, we analyze an effect of the aspect ratio on the stability of middle-n (1n
10) external MHD modes in tokamaks; this gets attention for the design research of a high performance tokamak. As the result of this work, we study that external MHD modes become stable as the aspect ratio decreases, and also find that the stability of middle-n external modes becomes important because an effect of a conducting wall is enhanced by reducing the aspect ratio.
