Toroidal Alfvén mode instability driven by plasma current in low-density Ohmic plasmas of the spherical tori
Due to intrinsically low magnetic fields, at low density the drift speed of the current-carrying electrons in spherical tokamaks can exceed fraction of the Alfvén speed sufficient for the excitation of the Alfvén gap modes. A particular case of the toroidal mode, observed during minor disruptions in Ohmic shots on SUNIST [Liu et al., Phys. Plasmas 23, 120706 (2016)], is considered in the present communication. Due to the negligible effect of the electron pressure gradient, the growth rate scales linearly with the drift speed, with slope inversely proportional to electron thermal velocity. In the absence of continuum damping, the threshold value of the drift speed for TAE excitation is independent of electron temperature.
