Description

The sensitivity of a high-β quasi-isodynamic stellarator equilibrium with respect to changes of the plasma pressure is investigated. It is shown that a plasma boundary near to the high-β boundary exists with the property that the magnetohydrodynamic and drift-kinetic properties of the associated low-β plasma are similar.
