High-pressure noble gas jet injection is a mitigation technique which potentially satisfies the requirements of fast response time and reliability, without degrading subsequent discharges. Previously reported experiments on DIII-D showed good success at reducing deleterious disruption effects. In this paper, results recent Alcator C-Mod are reported. Jointly, these have greatly improved understanding dynamics processes involved in mitigating both machines, sequence events following observed...
