Outline of Final Research Achievements

Plasma current ramp-up scenario with no central solenoid flux consumption in JT-60SA is investigated using an integrated modeling code, TOPICS. Since the plasma is near the stability boundary in such non-inductive scenarios, the stability of the ideal MHD mode is investigated. The stability of MHD modes with low toroidal mode numbers are investigated using MARG2D code, in addition, that with infinite toroidal mode number is examined based on the ballooning equation. As a result, the ideal MHD instability can be avoided when the pressure profile and the current profile are optimized using neutral beams and electron cyclotron waves.
