Abstract
Experimental investigation of flute-type electrostatic fluctuations in toroidal low-beta plasma is reported. Coherent low-frequency fluctuat ions are excited spontaneously at 0.02 T. The low-frequency mode is id entified as due to curvature-induced R-T instability favoured by veloc ity shear.
