title: High sensitivity, low noise Mirnov coil array on Prairie View rotamak.
abstract: An array of 32 Mirnov coils with novel features of high sensitivity and low noise has been installed on the outside chamber surface of Prairie View rotamak. This B(R)-oriented coil array has proven to be very reliable in the plasma driven by rotating magnetic field; it can resolve magnetic perturbation signals of 0.1 G. With this new diagnostic, the n = 1 tilt, radial shift, and kink modes are observed for the first time in rotamak plasmas.
