Abstract
A high β plasma is injected into an axisymmetric magnetic mirror. The β is varied principally by varying the midplane value of the magnetic field. The plasma fills most of the space inside of a conducting vacuum chamber. It is observed for a radially averaged 〈β〉>35% that the plasma is initially stable, while for 〈β〉<25% the plasma is initially unstable. The values of β required for stability are lower than those predicted from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory.
