Abstract
The nature of a rigid, flutelike M=1 instability as seen in the Tara tandem mirror [Nucl. Fusion 22, 549 (1982); Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion 1984 (IAEA, Vienna, 1985), Vol. 2, p. 285] is discussed. Radial density and light emission profiles obtained by inverting chord measurements are compared to end loss radial profiles during the evolution of the mode to its nonlinear saturated state. This final state is characterized by a coherent, flutelike motion of the plasma as a whole about the machine axis.
