    Notes: The performance of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor [D. Meade and the TFTR Group, in Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, Washington, D.C., 1990 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1991), Vol. I, pp. 9–24], as defined by the maximum fusion power production, has been limited, not by confinement, but by stability to pressure-driven modes. Two classes of current profile modification have been investigated to overcome this limit. A new technique has been developed to increase the internal inductance of low-q (q(approximate)4), high-current (Ip〉2MA) plasmas. As was the case at higher edge q, the disruptive β limit has been found to increase roughly linearly with the internal inductance, li. Plasmas with hollow current profiles, i.e., reversed shear, are also predicted and experimentally observed to have increased stability in the negative shear region to ballooning and kink modes. However, performance of these plasmas is still limited by pressure-driven modes in the normal shear region. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The linear stability of classical tearing modes in a finite-beta, cylindrical plasma is reconsidered. The different regimes of tearing mode instability are delineated by means of critical Lundquist numbers. The well-known criterion Δ'(approximately-greater-than)Δc due to Glasser, Greene, and Johnson [Phys. Fluids 18, 875 (1975)] defines a critical Lundquist number above which the plasma is stable. However, the physical importance of this Lundquist number is diminished by the fact that there is another critical Lundquist number, which is typically an order of magnitude smaller, above which the mode changes qualitatively in that the growth rate scales linearly with resistivity, and eventually becomes indistinguishable from resistive diffusion. The effect of parallel viscosity, which reduces the stabilizing coupling to the sound wave, is also considered. For large parallel viscosity, it is shown that Δc tends to zero. Thus, the stability criterion Δ'(approximately-greater-than)Δc for a finite-beta plasma is simply replaced by the criterion Δ'(approximately-greater-than)0. These analytical results are shown to be in good agreement with numerical results.

    Notes: A study is presented of the low-n (n=1,2,3) magnetohydrodynamic stability of equilibria with reverse shear safety factor profiles. The low-n stability boundaries are found to be characterized by resonance structures due to internal so-called "infernal'' mode types of instabilities. The parametric dependence of shear reversal width and depth, current, and pressure gradient on the beta limit are determined by using profile models that allow each parameter to be varied independently. Reverse magnetic shear is found to have a stabilizing influence for modes with toroidal mode numbers n≥2 leading to the possibility of improved β limits in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) [Plasma Phys. Controlled Nucl. Fusion Res. 26, 11 (1984)]. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A variety of experiments have been performed on the TFTR tokamak [Wilson et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1988 (IAEA, Vienna, 1989), Vol. 1, p. 691] utilizing ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating. Of special interest has been the insight into plasma performance gained by utilizing a different heating scheme other than the usual neutral beam injection (NBI). Utilizing ICRF heating allows control over the power deposition profile independent of the plasma fueling profile. In addition, by varying the minority concentration the power split between ion and electron heating can be varied. Confinement has been examined in high recycling gas fueled discharges, low recycling supershot plasmas, and peaked density pellet fueled discharges. Global confinement is found not to be affected by the method or localization of plasma heating, but the calculated local diffusivities vary with the power deposition profile to yield similar global values. In addition, sawtooth stabilization observed with ICRF heating has been investigated and found to occur in qualitative agreement with theory. ICRF sawtooth stabilized discharges exhibit peaked temperature and density profiles and have a safety factor q that appears to fall well below unity on axis.

    Notes: Results obtained from experiments utilizing high-power ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating to stabilize sawtooth oscillations on Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) [Hawryluk et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 33, 1509 (1991)] are reviewed. The key observations include existence of a minimum ICRF power required to achieve stabilization, a dependence of the stabilization threshold on the relative size of the ICRF power deposition profile to the q=1 volume, and a peaking of the equilibrium pressure and current profiles during sawtooth-free phases of the discharges. In addition, preliminary measurements of the poloidal magnetic field profile indicate that q on axis decreases to a value of 0.55±0.15 after a sawtooth-stabilized period of ∼0.5 sec has transpired. The results are discussed in the context of theory, which suggests that the fast ions produced by the ICRF heating suppress sawteeth by stabilizing the m=1 magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities believed to be the trigger for the sawtooth oscillations. Though qualitative agreement is found between the observations and the theory, further refinement of the theory coupled with more accurate measurements of experimental profiles will be required in order to complete quantitative comparisons.

    Notes: The effect of current density distribution in tokamak plasmas is examined on the access to the second stability regime of high-n ballooning modes. The main factor in determining access to the second stability regime is to lower shear sufficiently on each flux surface. This is achieved by broadening the current profile. A general method of finding equilibria with access to the second region of stability is presented. The value of on-axis safety factor q0 is found not to be a good measure of the type of profile required for second region access.

    Notes: Slowly growing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities are usually detected experimentally in supershot plasmas in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor [in Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986, Kyoto (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 75] (TFTR). These instabilities, when they occur, result in deterioration of the confinement and limit the attainable β. Using initial profile data from transport analysis of specific high β supershot plasmas, the predictions of the single fluid, linear MHD stability model are studied and compared with the experimental observations. It is shown that, in the highest β plasmas achieved, the pressure gradients in the interior are such that the absence of the 1/1 mode is difficult to reconcile with the single fluid MHD model if the safety factor, q〈1. On the assumption that q exceeds unity everywhere, it is found that supershot plasmas are predicted to be unstable or near marginal to small toroidal mode number, pressure-driven instabilities of the ballooning variety. When finite plasma resistivity is included in the analysis the range of parameters over which these instabilities are excited is significantly extended.

    Notes: A series of bulk proton-exchanged lithium niobate waveguides has been prepared by using concentrated sulfuric acid as the proton source and varying the time and temperature of the exchange process. The optical and physical properties of the proton-exchanged lithium niobate layer have been measured and found to be essentially identical to proton-exchanged layers obtained by other workers using the benzoic acid process. Sulfuric acid offers a number of advantages over benzoic acid as a proton source, including a wider temperature liquid range and a greater ease of handling in a clean-room environment.

    Notes: Ultrafast infrared laser pulses at 10.6 μm as short as 600±200 fs have been produced using optical semiconductor switching. This is achieved by using GaAs damaged with a 180 keV H+ dose of 1×1016 cm−2 as an optical–optical switch. Cross-correlation measurements are used to obtain the pulse shapes. We find that the generated infrared reflectivity pulse widths are proportional to the H+ ion dose to the power −0.4. This allows a precise control over the generated pulse durations. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
