Title:

MHD Equilibrium and Stability in Heliotron Plasmas

Date of publication:

Sep. 1999

Key words:

heliotron, MHD, three-dimensional equilibrium, interchange mode, net toroidal current, bootstrap current, internal kink mode, external kink mode, ballooning mode

Abstract:

Recent topics in the theoretical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) analysis in the heliotron configuration are overviewed. Particularly, properties of three-dimensional equilibria, stability boundary of the interchange mode, effects of the net toroidal current including the bootstrap current and the ballooning mode stability are focused.
