→Influence of the magnetic well

MHD theory predicts that instabilities inside the plasma are stabilized by increasing the "[[Magnetic well|magnetic well]]". This idea is supported by magnetic well scan experiments in TJ-II. | MHD theory predicts that instabilities inside the plasma are stabilized by increasing the "[[Magnetic well|magnetic well]]".

The level of fluctuations, the degree of intermittency and the radial correlation of relevant quantities increase as the magnetic well is reduced. | |||
