  The stabilization of tearing modes with rf driven current benefits from the
cooperative feedback loop between rf power deposition and electron temperature
within the island. This effect, termed rf current condensation, can greatly
enhance and localize current driven within magnetic islands. It has previously
been shown that the condensation effect opens the possibility of passive
stabilization with broad rf profiles, as would be typical of LHCD for steady
state operation. Here we show that this self-healing effect can be dramatically
amplified by operation in a hot ion mode, due to the additional electron heat
source provided by the hotter ions.
