Linear stability of the ITER 15 MA scenario against the alpha fishbone

Résumé

The stability of the n = m = 1 alpha-fishbone kinetic-MHD mode on the ITER 15 MA baseline scenario (ITER Physics Expert Group on Energe Drive and ITER Physics Basis 1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2471–95) is analyzed using the non-linear hybrid kinetic-MHD code XTOR-K. Quantitative agreement is found between the complex frequencies ω + iγ computed with the linear model in (Brochard G. et al 2018 J. Phys.: Conf. Series 1125 012003) and XTOR-K’s linear simulations. Identical precessional resonance positions in phase space are also found between the linear model and XTOR-K. Linear hybrid simulations performed with XTOR-K on the ITER 15 MA scenario reveal that this configuration is likely to be unstable against the alpha fishbone mode. The fishbone thresholds for kinetic-MHD equilibria with flat q profiles with on-axis safety factor just below unity lies between $β_\alpha$/$β_{thres}$ = 6-10%, whereas the expected beta ratio on ITER is $β_\alpha$/$β_{tot}$ = 15-20% (ITER Physics Expert Group on Energe Drive and ITER Physics Basis 1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2471–95).
