Description

A study on the stability limits for ideal ballooning modes in heliac-type stellarators has been performed. Specific configurations have been taken similar to those of the TJ-II heliac, with a deep magnetic well and almost zero shear, which is characteristic for a heliac. The stability limits herein are those imposed by the destabilization of ideal ballooning modes and the number of periods is increased thus giving higher values of the rotational transform and an approximation to helical symmetry.
