Ergodic magnetic limiters in tokamaks with reversed magnetic shear Escaping and transport barrier

Analytical tokamak plasma equilibria, with non-monotonic plasma current profile and perturbed by ergodicmagnetic limiters, are described by non-twist conservative maps. Examples are given of concentration of magnetic field lines escaping to the tokamak wall. The robustness of invariant curves on the shearless region is also observed.
