Abstract

The effect of plasma rotation on stability to rigid displacement of the plasma column in a Tokamak is studied. It is shown that for typical parameters of present-day experiments, plasma rotation may cause significant changes in the stability boundary and oscillation frequency for horizontal displacements. The effect is mainly due to conservation of angular momentum. It may be possible to detect these changes and invert them to obtain information about rotation velocities.
