Occam's razor on the mechanism of resistive-wall-mode-induced limits in diverted tokamaks

D Brunetti, JP Graves, CJ Ham, S Saarelma - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
External kink modes, believed to be the drive of the β-limiting resistive wall mode, are
strongly stabilized by the presence of a separatrix. We thus propose a novel mechanism …
