Abstract
The low-frequency stability of ion rings and previous experimental wor k on weak ion rings is briefly summarized. In anticipation of a new ex perimental thrust to create field reversed strong ion rings, numerical simulations have helped to outline the physics of ring formation by t he injection of short pulse intense ion beams (similar to 1 kA/cm(2)) into a gas filled magnetic cusp followed by solenoidal ramped magnetic field.
