Revisited comparison of thermal instability theory with MARFE density limit experiment in TEXTOR.

POSTER

Abstract

Density limit shots in TEXTOR [Tokamak EXperiment for Technology Oriented Research] that ended in MARFE [Multifaceted Asymmetric Radiation From the Edge] are analyzed by several thermal instability theories$^{1-7}$ with convective effects included. \newline \newline $^{1}$W.
