Positive values of κ<sub>N</sub> are regions where curvature-driven modes are stable. | Positive values of κ<sub>N</sub> are regions where curvature-driven modes are expected to be stable (note that this figure corresponds to the ''vacuum'' magnetic field -without plasma- so that strictly speaking it is not correct to speak about plasma stability). | ||
