Separating the effects of heating and current drive on NTM evolution in TCV

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Mengdi Kong

Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTMs) are widely observed in tokamak plasmas. They have a detrimental effect on plasma confinement and may even lead to disruptions. Therefore it is important to understand the evolution of NTMs, which is influenced by several e ...
