【 摘 要 】

Recently the possibility of resonant excitation of pressure perturbation by external helical magnetic perturbations near the rotating plasma edge was shown taking into consideration the finite plasma conductivity. In present paper the influence of the small safety factor variation on the pressure perturbation and on the plasma current response is studied. This phenomenon may explain the existence of the small window of safety factor values where ELMs were completely eliminated. The possibility to control the plasma current response to penetration of external helical resonant magnetic perturbations into the edge plasmas is shown. The investigation is carried out in the frame of one-fluid MHD.
