摘要：
We describe the occurrence of electron temperature gradient driven micro-instabilities in the helical states of RFX-mod reversed-field pinch plasmas. These plasmas are usually characterized by the presence of large, radially localized electron temperature gradients. Using realistic geometry and profiles, micro-tearing modes and electron temperature gradient modes turn out to regularly co-exist in the region of the temperature barrier. In the paper, we discuss the main features of such instabilities, especially focusing on the distinctive aspects of the helical geometry with respect to the toroidal symmetry.
