Abstract

The article discusses the impact of radial diffusion on the role of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) in mode stabilization of neoclassical tearing. It is stated that ECCD can be effective in neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilization as only a small part of the total plasma current is required to be driven non-inductively. The effectiveness of radial diffusion can be assessed through numerical analysis.
