Abstract

Conditions of improved stability to high-n ideal MHD modes are obtained with equilibria generated by flattening and raising the safety factor (q) profile. Flat q profiles shorten the connection length for high-n ballooning modes and diminish the destabilizing impact of the geodesic curvature. High values of q stabilize the residual interchange modes.
