2. Macro-instabilities, operational limits and disruptions

Oral

The ideal-MHD theory of axisymmetric modes with toroidal mode number n = 0 in tokamak plasmas is developed. These modes are resonant at the magnetic X-points of the tokamak divertor separatrix. Consequently, current sheets form along the separatrix, which profoundly affect the stability of vertical plasma displacements. In particular, current sheets at the magnetic separatrix lead to...

9. Computational plasma physics

Oral

There is considerable interest in studying plasma physics problems that will be solvable to error-correcting quantum computers. An interesting class of such problems is the propagation of electromagnetic waves based on Maxwell equations, with the plasma physics determining the dielectric properties of the medium. In order to develop the fundamental concepts for casting a classical wave...
