FISHBONES
Oscillations in soft X-ray emissions which occur during intense neutral-beam heating, associated with a recurring m=1 insidekink mode. Mode was given its name from its quality signal (looked like the bones of a fish, of course). Fishbones are associated with loss of quickions from the plasma and are triggered by exceeding the upperlimit on plasma beta.
