Description
The m=0 linear stability of the collisionless, small Larmor radius Z-pinch is examined. By using a generalized form of the energy principle it is shown that a finite pressure external gas can stabilize the pinch. Equilibrium skin currents are always destabilizing. Our results clarify why the gas-embedded pinch and Extrap are m=0 stable, whereas the fibre and compressional pinches are not
