Abstract

A hot plasma component formalism is used for a symmetric tandem mirror cell to relate the precessional mode, well known from Astron experiments, to more standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes. The l=1 mode can be stabilized by conducting walls, while the higher l modes can be stabilized by finite Larmor radius. Such a configuration is free of remnant dissipative instabilities because all perturbations are positive energy excitations when stability is achieved. OFF
