Description

Various toroidal reversed-field pinch (RFP) equilibria stable to ideal Mercier and ballooning modes are subjected to resistive ballooning analysis. The stability properties of these configurations are thus investigated as a function of quantities that are experimentally measurable. Resistive ballooning is seen as a likely candidate for the interpretation of a certain class of density fluctuation phenomena observed in these devices
