IFMIF-DONES will produce neutrons by irradiating liquid lithium with a 125 mA beam of 40 MeV deuterons. These deuterons will be accelerated by a linear accelerator, which is housed in the accelerator vault within the IFMIF-DONES main building. Neutronics modelling is crucial to determine radiation safety and component lifetimes, with accurate geo…

The MARS-F code [Y. Q. Liu et al., Phys. Plasmas 7, 3681 (2000)] is applied to numerically investigate the effect of the plasma pressure on the tearing mode stability as well as the tearing mode-induced electromagnetic torque, in the presence of a resistive wall. The tearing mode with a complex eigenvalue, resulted from the favorable averaged curva…

A theoretical model for investigating the effect of the trapped energetic particles EPs on the resistive wall mode RWM instability is proposed. The results demonstrate that the trapped EPs have a dramatic stabilizing effect on the RWM because of resonant interaction between the mode and the magnetic precession drift motion of the trapped EPs. The r…
