DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.863287· OSTI ID:6062476
A ballooning mode equation that includes full finite Larmor radius effects has been derived from the Vlasov equation for circular tokamak equilibrium. A numerical solution of this equation shows that finite Larmor radius effects are stabilizing.
