This article presents a two-fluid stability analysis of Harris current shee
t equilibrium under the assumption of charge quasi-neutrality, It is found
that the charge neutrality condition leads to sausage-type fluctuations, wh
ich propagate along the direction of the cross-field current flow, hence th
e drift-sausage mode. It is also shown that solutions which correspond to k
ink-type perturbations do not exist under the present assumption of charge
neutrality. In view of the fact that a substantial body of simulation works
exist which report predominantly kink-like perturbations, and that analyti
cal theories which do not assume charge quasi-neutrality predict that the k
ink-type mode is a dominant unstable mode, it is concluded that the assumpt
ion of quasi-neutrality may be a poor choice in describing the stability of
Harris current sheet equilibrium.
