Abstract
Experimental data, simulations, and theory are presented for a JET tokamak thermal quench. The emphasis is on the timescale of the bulk plasma thermal energy loss. The simulations suggest that the thermal energy loss is caused by a resistive wall tearing mode, and experimental data are consistent with this conclusion. The timescale of the thermal quench is the inverse of the mode growth rate.
