In Globus-M2 ohmic discharges with low density, by means of Mirnov coils array, magnetic field oscillations with frequencies in 1 MHz range were detected. Frequency range of these oscillations significantly exceed the range of TAE and RSAE frequencies, which were previously observed on Globus-M and Globus-M2 tokamaks, and their amplitude, contrary, turned out to be up to an order of magnitude lower. It was found that high frequency oscillations are interrelated with suprathermal electron fraction. At the same time the observed instability seems to have Alfvenic nature, since its frequency correlates well with Alfven frequency scaling. It was also found that magnetic perturbation always forms standing wave with predominantly low toroidal wavenumbers, including n = 0 structure, which makes gap (e.g. TAE) mode excitation impossible. Frequency chirping during single bursts with δω ~ √t is consistent with hole-clump model predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
