Abstract
The flux-conserving tokamak model suggested that rapid heating would yield equilibria
with high relative energy density (P = 2p/B ) while nonetheless allowing control over q, the
so-called safety factor for instability within the ideal magnetohydrodynamic plasma model.
In this study, we show that this is adequate to provide stability to P values of 10%, if
there is a superconducting metal shell in the vicinity of the plasma.
