Description
An overview of theoretical work on large Larmor radius stability of the z-pinch is presented, highlighting two recent innovations. Firstly, finite electron temperature has been included for the linear m=0 instability. Compared to the usual cold electron case, growth rates are increased and are closer to those of ideal MHD. Secondly, a 2-D hybrid code has been written to study the non-linear development of the m=0 instability. First results provide no evidence of instability saturation
