AbstractAbstract
[en] In this paper, the authors present new theoretical results on stabilizing the internal tilting mode in a FRC which contains a minority energetic ion component. In contrast to previous results obtained in various asymptotic limits of geometry, mode structure, or beam parameters, the present results include all magnetoinductive effects self-consistently in a 3-D calculation representing a realistic FRC. The model developed here and implemented computationally is similar to previous models. Namely, the plasma is considered to consist of three components; thermal electrons, thermal ions, and energetic (beam) ions. The first two of these components are treated by fluid equations, while the energetic ions are treated as a collisionless Vlasov species. As far as the fluid equations are concerned, this model is a straightforward extension of earlier two-fluid calculations which include the Hall term in Ohm's law
