Abstract
It is shown that high ( is the ratio of plasma pressure to the magnetic fie ld pressure) may deteriorate the confinement of trapped energetic ions in s pherical tori during MHD reconnection. events. This result indicates that m oderate rather than very high may be preferable in STs. (C) 2001 Elsevier S cience B.V. All rights reserved.
