Abstract
The parametric dependence of the growth rate of the low-frequency hot-electron interchange mode is studied with a two-and-a-half-dimensional relativistic electromagnetic particle code that models the geometry of a bumpy torus. The simulation results are compared in detail with finite-Larmor-radius theory, as well as zero-Larmor-radius theory. For the long-wavelength modes, the growth rates measured in the simulations tend to agree with those predicted from zero-Larmor-radius theory. For short-wavelength modes, the stabilizing effects of finite Larmor radius are significant.
