The geodesic acoustic mode in strongly-shaped tight aspect ratio tokamaks

This thesis presents comparison between experimental measurements from the spherical tokamak MAST, two-fluid simulation data and theory of the Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM) in tight aspect ratio strongly shaped tokamak plasmas. The first identification of a strong ~10kHz mode detected in both potenti...
