Transport Characteristics of Modulation Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (M-RMP) in DIII-D H-mode Plasmas
POSTER
Abstract
3D resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) fields are widely used for the ELM control or mitigation in Tokamaks and stellarators and are being developed as an approach to future burning plasma devices such as ITER. Understanding particle transport is a RMP physics issue. Here, we present a new experimental result of the resonance position of the RMP, which is directly confirmed using induced density perturbation produced by Modulated Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (M-RMP). A comparison study of the resonance locations with fixed q95 and with scanning q95 is presented in this work. Recent experimental results on the particle transport with M-RMP in DIII-D H-mode plasmas, have been investigated as well. These results show that a strong inward particle pinch exists in pedestal region in M-RMP H-mode plasma.
