Internal tilting instability in annular field-reversed configurations
Description
The energy principle is used to show that elongated annular field-reversed configurations with a conductor linking the torus are unstable to an internal tilt mode. The critical elongation increases with the aspect ratio and the growth rate decreases with plasma length for very elongated plasmas
