  1. 375. Current evolution within magnetic islands that are forced to shrink with electron cyclotron current drive

    Oral
    When a fusion plasma is above a critical value of beta, neoclassical tearing modes are destabilized. The resulting magnetic islands can grow to large size, allowing fast escape of the plasma from the fusion machine. The primary tactic for preventing tearing modes and reducing the size of magnetic islands in fusion machines is to apply current inside the magnetic islands. In...

  2. 374. electron physics and signatures in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
    Dr nicolas aunai (CNRS/LPP)

    Workshop, August 10-14
    Invited
    Collisionless magnetic reconnection is enabled by electron scale mechanisms and its dynamic is mainly controlled by ion scale processes. Whenever the to plasmas on both sides of the current sheet have different properties, a lot of well-known processes and their associated signatures are vastly changed. In this presentation, I will explain how one can highlight the regions of...
