Abstract

Following paper represents a method to resolve spatial mode structure of plasma MHD instabilities employing cross-phase correlation analysis applied to signals of magnetic probes, mounted on Globus-M and Tuman-3M tokamaks. The data on observations of toroidal Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs), which were formerly identified in Globus-M tokamak discharges, has been analyzed. Possible interpretation of the phase plot, acquired from analysis of NBI-stimulated ion-cyclotron emission (ICE) on Tuman-3M is given as well. The method described below turns out to be useful instrument for resolution of spatial structure of plasma instabilities, especially in D-shaped tokamaks with low aspect ratio.
