Abstract
Effects of ion temperature gradients on strong ballooning drift resistive edge modes are considered. The ion temperature perturbations are found to have a significant influence on the stability properties. In particular, the ion temperature gradient leads to a finite-Larmor radius stabilization of the strongest mode with an ideal growth rate for lower heating power than that required for stabilization due to the poloidal sheared rotation.
