A criterion of ballooning flute mode stability in a stellarator
Description
The linear equation for short-scale ideal MHD perturbations is considered using the Connor-Hastie-Taylor transformation for the case when the product of the poloidal wavenumber and the safety factor is much greater than unity, and when the poloidal plasma beta is greater than unity. Using an asymptotic variational method, a test function of the potential energy functional is obtained. From the derived restriction on plasma pressure it is concluded that the effect of self-stabilization is absent in the central part of the stellarator plasma column. 6 refs, 2 figs
