Analysis of stabilization effect of quadrupole field on theta pinch plasmas
Abstract
A stability analysis based on MHD approximation was done on the effect of quadrupole field to suppress the n = 2 rotational instability occurring in theta pinch plasmas. Applying the analysis to the results of the experiment on the suppression of the instability, the theoretical threshold of B sub S becomes as 0.05 T, while the experimental one is 0.06 T.
