SLAYER Classical Tearing Mode Growth Rate Benchmarks (β Scan and Aspect Ratio Scan)
Description
Input files and output growth rate data corresponding to Figs. 5, 6, and 7 of Burgess, Logan, Paz-Soldan et al. "Tearing Stability Prediction Combining Toroidal Calculations With a Two-Fluid Slab Layer" (2026). The betascan_files.tar.gz and epsilon_scan_files.tar.gz tarballs contain output files from the TJ code including g-eqdsk magnetic equilibirum files, Layer_*.nc files containing rational surface data, and Equilibrium_*.nc files containing equilibrium profiles. For complete documentation of all .nc keys, see the TJ documentation in the linked github repository. Note: when analyzing the Equilibrium_*.nc files, the TJ radial cooredinate "r" is taken to be equivalent to normalized poloidal flux psi_N in STRIDE+SLAYER.
beta_scan_SLAYER_data.txt and epsilon_scan_SLAYER_data.txt contain the scan values and corresponding SLAYER growth rates plotted in Figs. 5 and 6, generated using STRIDE+SLAYER from all input files in the tarballs.
