Description
For a plasma with β << 1 confined in a system of two simple axisymmetric mirror cells separated by a divertor cell, a radial plasma pressure profile is obtained that is stable against convective modes and drops off to zero at the separatrix. The shape of the marginally stable pressure profile depends on the geometric parameters (such as mirror ratios and the localization of the divertor cell), the ratio of the pressure in the mirrors cells to the pressure in the divertor cell, and the degree of pressure anisotropy
