Axis encircling iongyro instability
- 1. Science Applications, Inc., Laboratory for Applied Plasma Studies, Boulder, Colorado 80302
Description
An idealized plasma model in which all the ion guiding centers lie along the magnetic axis of a cylindrically symmetric plasma is investigated. The radial eigenvalue equation is derived and solved for this strongly unstable limit. Many of the physical features predicted by simple analytic limits of the WKB phase integral condition are verified by a comparison with the results of a particle simulation
