Book Description
Limitations on high-.beta. tokamaks are imposed by a number of ideal and resistive MHD instabilities. The present paper reports results on three such studies: (1) Numerical analysis using the Princeton PEST code on .beta. optimization of tokamaks for low toroidal mode numbers n; (2) analytic and numerical results on ideal ballooning modes with high n; and (3) analytic and numerical results on resistive ballooning modes at high n.
