Description
Kinetic analysis on the ballooning mode in tokamaks has indicated the existence of a residual ballooning mode in the negative shear region (s<0). The instability has a small threshold in α (the ballooning parameter), requires a finite ion temperature gradient (ηi), and is characterized by a broad eigenfunction φ(θ) extending to θ≅50 in the ballooning space. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
