Integrated view of disruption dynamics on internal electromagnetic and plasma structures in the small tokamak HYBTOK-II

2007 
An integrated view of disruption dynamics on internal plasma and associated electromagnetic structures with a high time resolution is presented in a systematic way. The main results are as follows: (i) observation of electron temperature oscillation due to rotation of magnetic islands of m(poloidal)/n(toroidal) = 3/2 mode numbers before the current quench, (ii) finding of rapid pump-out (~20 µs) of plasma current and particles from the central core region to the edge just at the current quench start time and then returning to a peaked profile during the following slow decay phase and (iii) a new proposal for the evaluation of current quench time and the electron temperature dependence of the current quench time, the so-called τ/S scaling.
