Abstract

Relaxation of plasmas via turbulence is treated by the use of a maximum entropy principle. The relaxed states are always stable to ideal modes. Taylor's theory of field reversal is extended to finite pressure plasmas and given a rigorous support by using symmetries in the equations to determine preferred conservation laws. Relaxed states of field reversed θ pinches are predicted, some with self-reversal of the magnetic field.
