Abstract

The observed characteristics of magnetic oscillations in L-H transition and disruption are described. Two kinds of MHD magnetic probes are used in order to cover broadband frequency range from 1.3 kHz to 300 kHz in the H-mode. Depending on the probe's position and frequency, different characteristics are observed. Precursor like oscillation in L-H transition, and the difference between sawtooth and ELM are discussed. All disruptions during the current rising phase are related with m=2 or m=3 mode. Different disruption characteristics for different operation conditions could be found in the MHD probes.
