Abstract

The mechanisms of nonlinear interaction of external helical fields with a rotating plasma are investigated analyzing the results of recent systematic experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET) [A. Gibson , Phys. Plasmas 5, 1839 (1998)] that widen the previous data base collected on Compass-D [T. C. Hender , Nucl. Fusion 32, 2091 (1992)], Doublet III-D [R. J. La Haye , Nucl. Fusion 32, 2119 (1992)] and JET. The empirical scaling laws governing the onset of "error field" locked modes are re-assessed and interpreted in terms of existing driven reconnection theories and with new models. In particular the important mechanisms of plasma rotation braking, and spin up, associated with error fields are analyzed in detail and interpreted. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

Error correction code

In computing, telecommunication, information theory, and coding theory, forward error correction (FEC) or channel coding is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels. The central idea is that the sender encodes the message in a redundant way, most often by using an error correction code or error correcting code (ECC). The redundancy allows the receiver not only to detect errors that may occur anywhere in the message, but often to correct a limited number of errors.

Plasma stability

The stability of a plasma is an important consideration in the study of plasma physics. When a system containing a plasma is at equilibrium, it is possible for certain parts of the plasma to be disturbed by small perturbative forces acting on it. The stability of the system determines if the perturbations will grow, oscillate, or be damped out. In many cases, a plasma can be treated as a fluid and its stability analyzed with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD).

Error detection and correction

In information theory and coding theory with applications in computer science and telecommunication, error detection and correction (EDAC) or error control are techniques that enable reliable delivery of digital data over unreliable communication channels. Many communication channels are subject to channel noise, and thus errors may be introduced during transmission from the source to a receiver. Error detection techniques allow detecting such errors, while error correction enables reconstruction of the original data in many cases.
