Physics:Mercier criterion

Short description: Plasma criteria

The Mercier criterion is a criterion for plasma used in the theoretical study of plasma instability. It was first proposed in 1954 by C. Mercier, who applied the perturbation method (in which ω=t represents the frequency[specify] and 𝐤=z is the z-direction of the unit vector) to the plasma mathematical model to compute calculations.[1][2]
