Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:11.66(Mechanics)Effect of feedback system, placed outside the vacuum vessel, on neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) in tokamaks is analytically studied. External matching parameters for magnetic island chain are derived for the simplest case of step profile of equilibrium parallel current. The structure of dynamical equations for the island width and island rotation frequency in terms of matching parameters is explained. It is shown that such a feedback system can lead to essential shift of the island rotation, in particular, for stabilization of NTMs by the polarization current effect.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:12.72(Mechanics)It is shown that there is a new class of perturbations, limiting the pressure of ideally stable plasma in the conditions of fusion reactors of tokamak type. localization of such modes includes three characteristic regions: large-scale (MHD), Larmor and sub-Larmor ones. It is suggested that these modes can be responsible for spontaneous generation of neoclassical tearing modes observed experimentally.
