title = "Avoidance of neoclassical tearing mode locking and disruption by feedback-induced accelerating electro-magnetic torque",
abstract = "We have explored the avoidance of NTM locking and its associated disruption by applying non-axisymmetric magnetic fields regulated by a feedback system. The process involves the introduction of the EM JxB torque. The steady-state toroidal phase of the mode, δBp, is found to be nearly in-phase with the feedback-supplied Br.ext, producing near maximum torque for the given mode amplitude and the coil current. This phase relation makes the locking avoidance more resilient to disruptions. The simple model prediction is consistent with the experiments.",
