4 EXTERNAL KINK CONTROL WITH RESISTIVE WALL l Steady state advanced tokamak scenarios need wall stabilization of external kink modes for operation at high beta with a high fraction of bootstrap current l Finite-conductivity wall Does not completely stabilize ideal kink mode, Converts it to a slowly-growing Resistive Wall Mode (RWM) l Two approaches to RWM stabilization Passive: fast plasma rotation (EX/3-1Rb) Active: magnetic feedback control (EX/3-1a) l New Internal coils installed just after the last IAEA conference: Very productive for RWM physics studies and active control of RWMs Active MHD spectroscopy with applied rotating field: RWM stability physics Plasma rotation sustained by feedback-controlled error field correction: Long duration high b plasmas Direct feedback control : RWM stability at higher beta below critical rotation
