    Notes: Magnetization measurements for the compound SmCo3B2 have been performed on loose powder in magnetic fields to 5 T and in the temperature region from 4.2 to 60 K. A small saturation moment of 0.18 μB/SmCo3B2 at T=4.2 K and its variation with increasing temperature suggest ferrimagnetic ordering in SmCo3B2, which is explained as the effect of a higher order crystalline field coefficient. A magnetic first order transition occurs at T=43 K and metamagnetism occurs in the narrow temperature region between 43 and 47 K, for which some possible discussions are given. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Global stability of the field-reversed configuration (FRC) has been investigated numerically using both three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic and hybrid (fluid electron and δf particle ion) simulations. The stabilizing effects of velocity shear and finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) on the n=1 internal tilt mode in the prolate FRCs have been studied. Sheared rotation is found to reduce the growth rate, however a large rotation rate with Mach number of M(approximately-greater-than)1 is required in order for significant reduction in the instability growth rate to occur. Kinetic effects associated with large thermal ion orbits have been studied for different kinetic equilibria. The simulations show that there is a reduction in the tilt mode growth rate due to FLR effects, but complete linear stability has not been found, even when the thermal ion gyroradius is comparable to the distance between the field null and the separatrix. The instability existing beyond the FLR theory threshold could be due to the resonant interaction of the wave with ions whose Doppler shifted frequency matches the betatron frequency. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Scalings for the stored energy and neutron yield, determined from experimental data, are applied to both deuterium-only and deuterium–tritium plasmas in different neutral-beam-heated operational domains in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor [Nucl. Fusion 25, 1167 (1985)]. The domain of the data considered includes the Supershot, high poloidal beta, low-mode, and limiter high-mode operational regimes, as well as discharges with a reversed magnetic shear configuration. The new important parameter in the present scaling is the peakedness of the heating beam fueling profile shape. Ion energy confinement and neutron production are relatively insensitive to other plasma parameters compared to the beam fueling peakedness parameter and the heating beam power when considering plasmas that are stable to magnetohydrodynamic modes. However, the stored energy of the electrons is independent of the beam fueling peakedness. The implication of the scalings based on this parameter is related to theoretical transport models such as radial electric field shear and ion temperature gradient marginality models. Similar physics interpretation is provided for beam heated discharges on other major tokamaks.

    Notes: The role of turbulence in the process of magnetic reconnection has been the subject of a great deal of study and debate in the theoretical literature. At issue in this debate is whether turbulence is essential for fast magnetic reconnection to occur in collisionless current sheets. Some theories claim it is necessary in order to provide anomalous resistivity, while others present a laminar fast reconnection mechanism based on the Hall term in the generalized Ohm's law. In this work, a thorough study of electrostatic potential fluctuations in the current sheet of the magnetic reconnection experiment (MRX) [Yamada et al., Phys. Plasmas 4, 1936 (1997)] was performed in order to ascertain the importance of turbulence in a laboratory reconnection experiment. Using amplified floating Langmuir probes, broadband fluctuations in the lower hybrid frequency range (fLH∼5–15 MHz) were measured which arise with the formation of the current sheet in MRX. The frequency spectrum, spatial amplitude profile, and spatial correlation characteristics of the measured turbulence were examined carefully, finding consistency with theories of the lower-hybrid drift instability (LHDI). The LHDI and its role in magnetic reconnection has been studied theoretically for decades, but this work represents the first detection and detailed study of the LHDI in a laboratory current sheet. The observation of the LHDI in MRX has provided the unique opportunity to uncover the role of this instability in collisionless reconnection. It was found that: (1) the LHDI fluctuations are confined to the low-beta edge of current sheets in MRX; (2) the LHDI amplitude does not correlate well in time or space with the reconnection electric field, which is directly related to the rate of reconnection; and (3) significant LHDI amplitude persists in high-collisionality current sheets where the reconnection rate is classical. These findings suggest that the measured LHDI fluctuations do not play an essential role in determining the reconnection rate in MRX. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High-resolution electron cyclotron emission (ECE) image reconstruction has been used to observe (m,n)=(2,1) and (3, 2) island structures on Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor [Plasma Phys. Controlled. Fusion 33, 1509 (1991)], where m and n are the poloidal and the toroidal mode number, respectively. The observed island structure is compared with other diagnostics, such as soft x-ray tomography and magnetic measurements. A cold elliptic island is observed after lithium pellet injection. Evidence for the enhancement of the heat transfer due to the island is observed. A relaxation phenomenon due to the m=2 mode is newly observed in Ohmic plasmas. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Ion heating and acceleration has been studied in the well-characterized reconnection layer of the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment [M. Yamada et al., Phys. Plasmas 4, 1936 (1997)]. Ion temperature in the layer rises substantially during null-helicity reconnection in which reconnecting field lines are anti-parallel. The plasma outflow is sub-Alfvénic due to a downstream back pressure. An ion energy balance calculation based on the data and including classical viscous heating indicates that ions are heated largely via nonclassical mechanisms. The Ti rise is much smaller during co-helicity reconnection in which field lines reconnect obliquely. This is consistent with a slower reconnection rate and a smaller resistivity enhancement over the Spitzer value. These observations show that nonclassical dissipation mechanisms can play an important role both in heating the ions and in facilitating the reconnection process. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Global stability of field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas has been studied using a simple rigid body model in the parameter space of s (the ratio of the separatrix radius to the average ion gyro-radius) and plasma elongation E (the ratio of the separatrix length to the separatrix diameter). Tilt stability is predicted, independent of s, for FRC's with low E (oblate), while the tilt stability of FRC's with large E (prolate) depends on s/E. It is found that plasma rotation due to ion diamagnetic drift can stabilize the tilt mode when s/E(approximately-less-than)1.7. The so-called collisionless ion gyro-viscosity also is identified to stabilize tilt when s/E(approximately-less-than)2.2. Combining these two effects, the stability regime broadens to s/E(approximately-less-than)2.8, consistent with previously developed theories. A small additional rotation (e.g., a Mach number of 0.2) can improve tilt stability significantly at large E. A similar approach is taken to study the physics of the shift stability. It is found that radial shift is unstable when E〈1 while axial shift is unstable when E〉1. However, unlike tilt stability, gyro-viscosity has little effect on shift stability. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Full sawtooth crashes in high temperature plasmas have been investigated on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) [Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 33, 1509 (1991)]. A strong asymmetry in the direction of major radius, a feature of the ballooning mode, and a remaining m=1 region after the crash have been observed with electron cyclotron emission image reconstructions. The TFTR data is not consistent with two-dimensional (2-D) models; it rather suggests a three-dimensional (3-D) localized reconnection arising on the bad curvature side. This process explains the phenomenon of fast heat transfer which keeps the condition q0〈1.©1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper a laboratory investigation is made on magnetic reconnection in high-temperature Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) plasmas [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 51]. The motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic is employed to measure the pitch angle profile of magnetic field lines, and hence the q profile. An analytical expression that relates pitch angle to q profile is presented for a toroidal plasma with circular cross section. During the crash phase of sawtooth oscillations in plasma discharges, the ECE (electron cyclotron emission) diagnostic measures a fast flattening of the two-dimensional (2-D) electron temperature profile in a poloidal plane, an observation consistent with the Kadomtsev reconnection theory. On the other hand, the MSE measurements indicate that central q values do not relax to unity after the crash, but increase only by 5%–15%, typically from 0.7 to 0.8. The latter result is in contradiction with the 2-D models of Kadomtsev and/or Wesson. In the present study this puzzle is addressed by a simultaneous analysis of electron temperature and q profile evolutions. Based on a heuristic model for magnetic reconnection during the sawtooth crash, the small change of q, i.e., partial reconnection, is attributed to the precipitous drop of pressure gradients that drive the instability and the reconnection process, as well as flux conserving plasma dynamics.
