Description

The stability of a rigidly rotating theta pinch is investigated using the Vlasov-fluid model. The main differences between the present and the asymptotic theory are due to the effect of resonant ions present in the exact Vlasov-fliud equations. An analytical explanation of the resonant ion effects is given
