Previously the existence of a Neutral Point was clearly demonstrated for plasma disruptions following radiative collapses in JET. This paper extends such studies to different configurations and different perturbations (ELMs). The result is that a Neutral Point for ELM-type perturbations does not exists in the explored range. Nevertheless, a spatial dependence of the excitation of the unstable mode can be found in the experimental data. This feature can give useful information about simplified ELM modelling for control purposes. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
