It is shown that the asymmetric deformation of the magnetic island caused by the finite plasma viscosity gives a stabilizing effect on the magnetic islands in the Rutherford regime. Such stabilization typically overcomes the destabilizing effect of the ion polarization current.

Abstract
It is shown that the asymmetric deformation of the magnetic island caused by the finite plasma viscosity gives a stabilizing effect on the magnetic islands in the Rutherford regime. Such stabilization typically overcomes the destabilizing effect of the ion polarization current.File in questo prodotto:
