The impact of E × B shear on microtearing based transport in spherical tokamaks

Electromagnetic microtearing modes (MTMs) have been observed in many different spherical tokamak (ST) regimes. Understanding how these and other electromagnetic modes nonlinearly saturate is likely critical in understanding the confinement of a high β ST. Equilibrium E  ×  B sheared flows have somet...
