摘要
Kinetic analysis on the ballooning mode in tokamaks has indicated the existence of a residual ballooning mode in the negative shear region (s < 0). The instability has a small threshold in alpha (the ballooning parameter), requires a finite ion temperature gradient (eta(i)), and is characterized by abroad eigenfunction phi(theta) extending to theta similar or equal to 50 in the ballooning space.
