The magnetic configuration is selected to be the outwardly shifted configuration, for which the magnetic axis position (Rax) is 3.9 m. At Rax = 3.9 m, the main plasma is surrounded by a thick ergodic layer, with width of about 30% of the plasma minor radius. The perturbation mode m/n = 1/1, where m and n are poloidal and toroidal mode numbers, is applied. The resonant layer is around the last closed flux surface. With RMP, a region in which both the connection and Kolmogorov lengths are finite and the magnetic field is ergodic forms; this region extends inside the main plasma. In the low-collisionality regime, where νh* < 1 (νh* = 1 is the boundary between the 1/ν and plateau regimes in stellarator/helical neoclassical transport), there is no apparent difference in particle transport with and without RMP. However, in the high-collisionality regime (νh* > 1), a clear difference in particle transport is found. A clear difference in turbulence is also observed, suggesting that turbulence plays a significant role in particle transport in the high-collisionality regime both with and without RMP.}, title = {Effects of Resonant Magnetic Perturbation on Particle Transport in LHD}, volume = {Vol.8}, year = {2013} }
