High-m ballooning stability of an axisymmetric E-ring-stabilized tandem mirror
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6309775
A paraxial (long-thin) model of an electron-ring-stabilized tandem mirror is described. The model is applied to study the high-m (azimuthal mode number) stability of this axisymmetric configuration to interchange-ballooning modes within the rigid ring approximation. Stability boundaries are computed for two ring profiles and the results compared with earlier analytic calculations.
