文摘It is shown that a steepening of the radial plasma pressure profile leads to a decrease in the critical value of beta,above which,small-scale balloon-type perturbations in a mirror trap become unstable.This may mean that small-scale ballooning instability leads to a smoothing of the radial plasma profile.The critical beta values for the real magnetic field of the gas-dynamic trap and various plasma pressure radial profiles was also calculated.For a plasma with a parabolic profile critical beta is evaluated at the level of 0.72.A previous theoretical prediction for this trap was almost two times lower than maximal beta 0.6 achieved experimentally.
