Abstract
An analysis of the microstability properties of the Elmo Bumpy Torus (EBT) boundary layer is made. A number of plasma characteristics, including some unique to EBT, are examined to ascertain their microstability consequences. For conditions typical of current experiments, the EBT boundary layer is found to be unstable to high-frequency drift waves, in particular, the lower-hybrid-drift instability and the drift-cyclotron instability. Properties of these modes relevant to their experimental observation are discussed.
