Abstract Effects of plasma radiation on the nonlinear evolution of neo-classical double tearing modes (NDTMs) in tokamak plasmas with reversed magnetic shear are numerically investigated based on a set of reduced magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. Cases with different separations between the two same rational surfaces are considered. In the small cases, the plasma radiation destabilizes the NDTMs and makes the kinetic energy still grow gradually in the late nonlinear phase. Moreover, the NDTM harmonics with high mode numbers reach a high level in the presence of plasma radiation, forming a broad spectrum of MHD perturbations that induces a radially broadened region of MHD turbulence. As a result, the profiles of safety factors also enter a nonlinear oscillation phase. In the intermediate case, the plasma radiation can advance the explosive burst of kinetic energy that results from the fast driven reconnection between the two rational surfaces, because it can further promote the destabilizing effects of bootstrap current perturbation on the magnetic island near the outer rational surfaces. In the large case, through destabilizing the outer islands significantly, the plasma radiation can even induce the explosive burst in the reversed magnetic shear configuration where the burst cannot be induced in the absence of plasma radiation.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
