Tokamak axisymmetric stability : vertical displacements and their consequences
Vertical Displacement Events (VDEs) are a major concern for future tokamak operation since their consequences—halo currents and the associated j × B forces on the vacuum vessel—have the potential to be very damaging when scaled up to ITER-size devices. VDEs become more likely for elongated plasmas,...
