Drift-resistive-inertial ballooning modes in quasihelical stellarators

T. Rafiq, C. C. Hegna, J. D. Callen, and A. H. Kritz<br/> A linear stability theory of nonideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ballooning modes is investigated using a two fluid model for electron-ion plasmas. Drift-resistive-inertial ballooning mode eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are calculated for a variety of equilibria including axisymmetric shifted circula … [Phys.
