Integral-equation analysis of the kinetic-ballooning modes in tokamaks
Keyword(s):
The existence of kinetic-ballooning modes in the regime that is stable against the ideal MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) mode has been confirmed by nonlocal analysis based on integral-equation formalism. In contrast to the previous results based on differential-shooting codes, the kinetic-ballooning mode in the second stability regime does not require a finite ion-temperature gradient.
