5 RE mitigation with applied non-axisymmetric fields RMPs have been shown to be useful for affecting RWM modes and suppressing ELMs. RMPs have also been applied to try to increase the RE losses during disruptions. An n=2 field in JT-6 and the n=3 field in TEXTOR have a clear effect on final RE levels. BUT both n=1 and n=3 in DIII-D and n=1 in JET have no clear effect. Simulation results show that significant (up to 1%) RE losses can be achieved at large minor radius, but very little effect is achieved on REs near the center of the current channel.

6 Experiments on TEXTOR Setup:the disruption is triggered by MGI. RMPs are applied before and during the disruption, respectively. no clear effect of external magnetic perturbation field on RE generation has been found. An exception is found for the discharge where a locked mode has been deliberately excited by RMPs prior to current quench and no RE production is observed. Koslowski H.R., EPS214, P5.28. L. Zeng Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences No 6
7 Current profile of REs during disruptions Theory predicts that the current channel is narrow considerably and the axis current density increases. Measurement of synchrotron radiation in TEXTOR shows the RE beam locates in the core region of plasma. ~3cm Eriksson L.-G., Phys.Rev.Lett. 92 (24) 254; Wongrach K., Nucl. Fusion 55 (215) 538 L.

12 RE collisional suppression Setup: The first MGI is used to cause disruptions and the second MGI is triggered during the RE plateau phase. high-z gas is more effective at reducing RE current on DIII-D RE current decay even with He injection on Tore Supra Hollmann E.M., Phys.

Zeng Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences No 16
17 Effect of the second valve (1) The energy losses caused by the collision and synchrotron radiation are both not sensitive to the noble gas species too much, so only the bremsstrahlung is considered here. For the background plasma after disruption with massive Argon injection Z eff = 9, n Z = 1 2 m -3 (atomic density) The noble gas injection by the second valve may change Z eff, n Z and then the bremsstrahlung. Simulation results show that for H 2 and He, the bremsstrahlung decreases when the injection amount is less than a value. For Ne and Ar, the bremsstrahlung increases continually.

Bremss.+He Bremss.+Ar W c When the bremsstrahlung decreases, the new P th2 (P th2 )is larger than before, which means that REs with the previous energy P th2 will be accelerated to P th2. When the bremsstrahlung increases, the new P th2 (P th2 )is less than before, which means that REs with the previous energy P th2 will be reduced to P th E [MeV] L. Zeng Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences No 18
19 Summary No clear effect on RE losses have been found on TEXTOR when RMPs are triggered during the RE plateau phase. For cases with sufficient current peaking, the islands created by RMPs are separated from the region of RE beam and have no effect on REs. The effect of the second valve mainly changes the bremsstrahlung caused by REs firstly and then the energy of REs. The noble gas injection by the second valve changes Z eff, n Z, the bremsstrahlung and then P th2. For H 2 and He, the bremsstrahlung decreases when the injection amount is less than a value. For Ne and Ar, the bremsstrahlung increases continually. L. Zeng Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences No 19
