Stability of a current-carrying plasma sheet
Abstract
The dispersion relation for hydromagnetic waves on a planar plasma sheet carrying an asymmetric current has been shown to be the same as that for a symmetric current. The relevance of this result to experimental observations is discussed briefly.
