Field-Theoretic Framework for Plasma Confinement Stability Hybrid OSD-Plasma: Application of the Critical Sensitivity Field Ψ(x,t)
Abstract
Abstract Tokamak and stellarator confinement is limited by rate-induced instabilities arising from accelerating plasma parameters (current ramp, heating power, fueling rate). This conceptual preprint applies the reaction-diffusion field of critical sensitivity Ψ(x,t) to model such instabilities in plasma-magnetic systems.
