FAST ROTATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM IN A TOROIDAL NONNEUTRAL PLASMA

In a toroidally confined non-neutral plasma, in certain parameter regi mes it is shown that a fast rotational equilibrium can exist in additi on to the slow rotational equilibrium. For a low density plasma, the f ast rotational equilibrium is shown to have a much larger inward shift of the streamlines of flow compared to the slow rotational equilibriu m.
