Magnetic flux tubes or flux ropes in plasmas are important in nature and the laboratory. Axial boundary conditions strongly affect flux rope behavior, but this has never been systematically...

Current driven rotating kink mode in a plasma column with a non-line-tied free end (2006)
Furno, I., Intrator, T. P., Abbate, S., Madziwa-Nussinov, T., Light, A., Dorf, L., ...
First experimental measurements are presented for the kink instability in a linear plasma column which is insulated from an axial boundary by finite sheath resistivity. Instability threshold below...
