A new scenario to delay or prevent neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) onset is presented. By active sawtooth destabilization, short period and low amplitude sawteeth are generated, such that the sawtooth produced NTM seed island is reduced and the threshold normalized plasma pressure for triggering of NTMs, βNonset, is increased. The scenario has been explored experimentally in the Joint European Torus (JET). Ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) waves tuned to the 2nd harmonic H-minority resonance have been used for sawtooth control. Whereas ICRF waves generally induce sawtooth stabilization, favouring the triggering of NTMs and reducing βNonset, the present experiments show that by toroidally directed waves, ion cyclotron current drive is produced, and that sawteeth can be destabilized by careful positioning of the 2nd harmonic H resonance layer with respect to the sawtooth inversion radius. As a result, NTM onset is delayed and βNonset is increased above its value obtained in discharges with additional heating from neutral beam injection alone.

新古典テアリングモード(NTM)の発生を遅延または防止する新たなシナリオを提示する。能動的なサートゥース不安定性の励起により、短周期かつ低振幅のサートゥースが生成され、これによってサートゥースが引き起こすNTMシードアイランドが低減し、NTMの発生閾値となる規格化プラズマ圧力βNが上昇する。このシナリオは、欧州トーラス共同実験装置(JET)において実験的に検証された。イオンサイクロトロン共鳴周波数(ICRF)波を第2高調波水素共鳴に同調させ、サートゥース制御に用いた。ICRF波は一般にサートゥースの安定化を誘導し、NTMの発生を促進してβNを低下させるが、本実験では、トロイダル方向に伝搬する波によってイオンサイクロトロン電流駆動が生じ、第2高調波水素共鳴層をサートゥース反転半径に対して注意深く配置することにより、サートゥースを不安定化できることが示された。その結果、NTMの発生は遅延し、βNは中性粒子ビーム入射のみによる追加加熱の場合の値よりも上昇した。
