EQUILIBRIUM OF TOROIDAL PINCH IN A MAGNETIC FIELD,

Abstract

The conditions of equilibrium of an axisymmetric toroidal pinch are obtained by analysis with respect to a/R (a and R - the small and large radius of torus) without concrete representation of the type of current distribution and of longitudinal magnetic field with respect to the pinch profile. It is assumed only, that in a zero approximation (R = infinity) the pinch has a cylindrical symmetry. Refined formulas are given for pinch displacement in a conducting housing that are suitable in the second approximation, i. e., taking into account terms of the order b2/R2, where b is the housing radius.
