Modelling the Stability of the n=1 Internal Kink Mode in Tokamak Plasmas
The sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas results in a periodic reorganisation of the plasma surrounding the magnetic axis. Plasmas with long sawteeth are more susceptible to neo-classical tearing modes (NTMs), which result in substantial confinement degradation. The stabilising effects of fusion-...
