Connection of interchange instabilities in tokamaks and Parker instabilities in spiral arms of galaxies
It is well known that interchange instabilities (and associated ballooning modes) in laboratory fusion devices limit the maximum value of the plasma due to per-turbations with a wave vector perpendicular, or nearly perpendicular, to the mag-netic field. For those perturbations, the field line bendin...
