On the feasibility of model-based feedback control of vertical instability growth rate using out-vessel coils in ARC-like scenarios

In this work, we propose a model-based feedback controller that regulates the vertical instability growth rate ($\gamma_{gr}$) of a high-elongation, double-null tokamak directly, using only out-vessel poloidal field (PF) coils. High elongation raises the achievable plasma current and fusion performance but makes the pl...
