Shafranov-shift destabilization of ballooning-type micro-instabilities

Contrary to common wisdom, we argue that the Shafranov shift is destabilizing for the ambient ballooning-type instabilities, which account for most of the transport flux in tokamak core plasmas. Higher Shafranov shift indeed reduces the magnetic drift frequency ${\omega _{\text{d}}}$ , i.e. improves...
