Stabilization of the Vertical Mode in Tokamaks by Localized Nonaxisymmetric Fields

Author: A. Reiman

Abstract:
Vertical instability of a tokamak plasma can be controlled by nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields localized near the plasma edge at the bottom and top of the torus. The required magnetic fields can be produced by a relatively simple set of parallelogram-shaped coils.
