Annual progress report
The nonlinear analysis of plasma instabilities in the threshold regime is discussed. The emphasis remains on carrying out calculations in realistic geometry and making comparison with experiment. Attention has shifted entirely to fully ionized plasma. An analysis was made of the collisional drift-wave instability. Considerable progress was made in explaining the explosive nature of the mirror-flute instability and in understanding the flute instability in the presence of both density and temperature gradients. The application of the threshold method to parametric instabilities in nonuniform plasma is discussed. Details of the results and comparison with experiment are given. (auth)
