A nonvariational kinetic-MHD stability code (NOVA-K) has been developed to integrate non-
Hermitian integro-differential eigenmode equations due to energetic particles in a general …

The sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas results in a periodic reorganization of the core
plasma. A typical sawtooth cycle consists of a quiescent period, during which the plasma …

The stabilisation of plasma macroscopic instabilities by high energy particles is shown to be
a consequence of the conservation of the third adiabatic invariant, ie the magnetic flux …

The theoretical framework of the general fishbone-like dispersion relation (GFLDR),
presented and discussed in the Companion Paper [Phys. Plasmas 21, 072120 (2014)], is …

Instabilities in a Confined Plasma is entirely devoted to a theoretical exposition of the subject
of plasma instabilities in confined systems. The book is an important contribution to the study …

The linear resistive magnetohydrodynamical stability of the n= 1 internal kink mode in
tokamaks is studied numerically. The stabilizing influence of small aspect ratio [Holmes et …

Discrete shear Alfvén modes such as the TAE (toroidal Alfvén eigenmode) are susceptible to
destabilization by energetic alpha populations and neutral beams; this can lead to …

During auxiliary heating experiments in JET, periodic bursts of MHD oscillations
resembling'fishbones' have been observed in the signals of several diagnostics. The bursts …

Energetic particle populations in nuclear fusion experiments can destabilize the Alfvén
Eigenmodes through inverse Landau damping and couplings with gap modes in the shear …

Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of high-β plasmas show that
toroidally localized high-n ballooning modes can be driven unstable by the local pressure …
