The reversed field pinch (RFP) is one of the magnetic confinement concept for compact high-beta plasmas. The quasi-single helicity (QSH) RFP state is a candidate for confinement improvement where the single dominant tearing mode grows significantly larger than the re-maining modes and the associated...
