| Abstract | Summary form only given. Tearing modes (with low mode numbers) are known to affect tokamak performances, as it has recently been observed during TFTR Supershots. As a result, understanding their stability properties is quite a challenging issue. The evolution and saturation of the associated magnetic islands seem in reasonable agreement with the predictions of the so-called neoclassical /spl nabla/p-driven tearing mode model (instability driven by the bootstrap current). However, the latter does not predict any threshold condition (to be overcome by a mode before it can grow and saturate). This is in contradiction with experiment, since any mode should be unstable in the absence of a threshold condition, while only few are indeed observed (m/n=3/2, 4/3 and 5/4), indicating the lack of a stabilizing contribution in the analysis. Two mechanisms have recently been proposed that could remove this discrepancy: 1) the destabilizing bootstrap current contribution is found to be reduced when longitudinal and transverse diffusivities are properly taken into account, preventing electron pressure to equilibrate upon perturbed magnetic surfaces, so that the required (to effectively drive the instability) pressure flattening inside the island does not occur for small perturbations. 2) ion polarization drift effects (including both inertia and finite Larmor radius) provide a stabilizing contribution, potentially dominant for island width of the order of the ion Larmor radius (but rapidly decreasing with growing islands). These mechanisms provide the previously missing threshold condition: an island can grow if only its width w overcomes a critical value w/sub crit/ controlled by a single parameter C. In addition, the dependence of w/sub crit/ with respect to C exhibits a bifurcation behavior for C less than a bifurcation value C/sub bif/ (associated with the maximum threshold w/sub max/) the threshold w/sub crit/ is infinity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
