Abstract
It is found that high β in low-aspect-ratio tori tends to stabilize the fishbone instability in a plasma with energetic circulating ions. The stabilization results from enhancement of the toroidal drift motion by large Shafranov shift, which makes it difficult to reconcile the condition of considerable energy exchange between the ions and the internal kink perturbation with the condition of the resonant wave–particle interaction.
