Combined n equal to 0 and n not equal to 0 MHD stability analysis of axisymmetric surface current model equilibria
Abstract
The study deals with a combined n equal to 0 and n not equal to 0 MHD stability analysis carried out for a surface current model (SCM) of axisymmetric equilibria with constant plasma pressure. Emphasis is placed on the search of completely MHD-stable configurations which have beta-values as large as possible. These configurations are compared with simpler standard configurations.
