Abstract
Mainly in connection with the recent results of spindle-cusp confinement experiments, the structure of “high-beta plasma sheath” in the thermal equilibrium as well as in the steady-state is theoretically examined. For the analysis, the velocity distribution function of plasma particles and the electric field induced by the charge separation within the sheath are taken into account. Various cases of the sheath thickness ranging from ton gyro-radius to electron gyro-radius are considered. On the basis of the results, the stability of sheath is discussed in relation to possibly excited micro-instabilities.
