Negative Specific Heat of a Magnetically Self-Confined Plasma Torus

arXiv:physics/0208074 · doi:10.1073/pnas.252779099

Abstract

It is shown that the thermodynamic maximum entropy principle predicts negative specific heat for a stationary magnetically self-confined current-carrying plasma torus. Implications for the magnetic self-confinement of fusion plasma are considered.
