摘要：

In this study, we observed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity of the spherical tokamak Globus-M2 which led to a deterioration in plasma confinement, such as a transition from the H-mode to L-mode, or even disruption. This instability was found to be tearing modes, which are a result of the formation of magnetic islands in plasma and which impose limits on plasma pressure. The width and velocity of the islands are key parameters that determine their impact on plasma confinement. The Doppler backscattering (DBS) method has been shown to be effective for the study of MHD activity. This method was employed on the spherical tokamak Globus-M2, together with an array of magnetic probes, to study the tearing modes. The available DBS systems allowed for simultaneous measurements from half of the minor radius to the separatrix. The results are presented of our investigation of tearing modes that lead to a transition from the H-mode or a disruption. Comparative analysis was conducted of the observed tearing modes and the influence of different plasma parameters on their development.
