Ballooning modes are ~ound to possess a second stable regime for igh beta. The range of unstable beta values depends on the details of the equilibrium, and in particular, on shear, which can be strongly stabilizing. nonet • •-1U> opart war pvpwtf « H Kttwnr et woric •paraMb) *• (Mud SUttiGotttinamt.

In the absence of a conducting wall, typical spheromak plasmas are unstable to tilting and/or shifting modes. The effects of the cross-sectional shape, aspect ratio, and the location of a conducting wall on the stability of these modes are investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
