Abstract

The normal modes of oscillation of a cold dielectric plasma ring are analysed in the quasi-electrostatic approximation. An exact dispersion relation is derived, valid for all aspect ratios. Its solutions are shown to be extremely close to those of an infinite cylindrical plasma with cross-section equal to the minor cross-section of the ring, when the cylinder is considered as a wavelength-preserving limit of the toroidal geometry.
