Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study found that a Magnetohydrodynamic instability leading to plasma disruptions during pressure enhancement stages was the resistive wall mode. A new tool providing the safety factor, i.e. plasma current profile, was also developed for the analysis. Dedicated in vessel coils for canceling the mode growth and control of the plasma rotations using neutral beam heating systems can suppress the resistive modes. This study will contribute to building various operation scenarios with avoiding the disruptions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

トカマク型核融合装置を念頭に置いた場合、プラズマを長時間維持するには、高周波加熱装置や中性粒子入射装置による外部駆動の電流や、プラズマの圧力勾配により駆動される自発電流が必須である。本研究では、それらの条件が得やすいプラズマ配位を作る最中において、頻発するプラズマの瞬時崩壊の原因を突き止めた。上記は、核融合装置の運転手法を検討する上で今後不可欠な知見となる。
