Equilibrium and stability of collisionless systems in the paraxial limit
Abstract
A study is made of the equilibrium and stability of a magnetically confined collisionless plasma in the paraxial or ‘long, thin’ limit. The main field is poloidalaxisymmetric, and a stabilizing quadrupole field is superimposed.
