Observations of the Onset of the Energy Quench in ASDEX Upgrade Density Limit Disruptions

Tokamak major density limit disruptions are usually preceded by a m/n=2/1 tearing mode, that may or may not lock to the vessel wall. The complete destruction of energy confinement in these major disruptions is known to have a characteristic m/n=1/1 form. Initially only a small degradation of the con...
