Inner magnetic field profile in shallow-reversal discharge Magnetic measurement suggests HOE in RELAX * Helically deformed plasma in RELAX-experiments and 3-D MHD simulation- Akio Sanpei, Sadao Masamune and RELAX group Kyoto Institute of Technology, Kyoto 606-8585, Japan 27. Apr. 2010 Conventional RFP Many n of m = 1 (helical) fluctuations (Multi-Helicity) Magnetic Chaos (break closed magnetic surface) QSH(Quasi-Single-Helicity) RFP Single n mode has much higher amplitude than others Good confinement inside helical magnetic island SHAx(Single Helical Axis) RFP Higher amplitude of single dominant mode Separatrix (X-point) Disappearance Helical deformation and Good confinement in wider area not-SHAx SHAx realized in RFX-mod (Ip 1MA) [1] D.

Lorenzini et al., Nature Physics 5, 570 (2009) Background:Helical Deformation of RFP Lower A has a possibility to easy access to QSH ? A simpler magnetic mode dynamics ? Easier access to the QSH RFP state expected Avoidance of overlap of magnetic islands (chaos). m=1 modes resonant surfaces are less densely spaced in the core region. Dependence of q-profile on A q in the core region : Up ↑ Lowering A leas to … Single dominant helical mode (m=1/n=4) is realized in shallow reversal discharge The toroidal mode spectrum is narrowed by reducing the toroidal field reversal, and the QSH state tends to be realized in shallow reversal discharges. QSH MH Radial arrays of magnetic probes inserted from outward-port into the plasma region Large oscillation of profile is observed in shallow-reversal discharge. To explain such oscillation…. symmetry component helical component bi Theoretical cylindrical Helical Ohmic Equilibrium (HOE) [4] [5] For satisfy ??b = 0 If HOE rotate, at the radial array ... non-oscillatory component ( 2kHz) oscillatory component b (2kHz ~ 50kHz) ?Phase of br is differ from bq　, bf by ~ p / 2 have Helical symmetry solved us
