SUMMARY:High performance fusion plasmas and explosive instability\, Pl
 asma Physics (Physics/ECE/NE 922) Seminar\, Steven Cowley\, Princeton 
 Plasma Physics Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:The highest fusion performance plasmas have been attained 
 by suppressing the turbulence that<br>
\nplagues  fusion experiments. 
  Unfortunately such plasmas frequently become unstable to explosive<br
 >
\ninstabilities that can release large amounts of destructive energy
  in a very short time.  For this reason <br>
\nthese regimes are not c
 onsidered candidates for ITER operation.  I will discuss how explosive
  <br>
\nflux tube instabilities occur\, how they cause catastrophic he
 at loss and how they disconnect from <br>
\nthe confined plasma.<br>
