Equilibrium of a toroidal pinch in a static magnetic field and in a high-frequency large-amplitude field

The authors consider the equilibrium confinement of a toroidal plasma pinch in a static magnetic field and in a high-frequency large-amplitude field in the general case where the gas-kinetic plasma pressure NT is comparable with the pressure of the high-frequency field . It is assumed that the high-frequency field in the range of frequencies 1-10 MHz has a helical or multipole configuration and is excited by given external high-frequency currents passing through the current sheath surrounding the pinch.
