Magnetic surfaces in a quadrupole
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Extract
Local imperfections in the magnetic field can alter the topology of the magnetic surfaces, thereby allowing plasma to escape. A modest longitudinal magnetic field will maintain the nested surfaces near the plasma boundary, so that the residual topological changes near the separatrix become unimportant.
