Scientific paper

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a compressible plasma in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field is investigated, taking into account the effects of finite Larmor radius. Only transverse perturbations are considered. The problem is shown to be characterized by a variational principle. Using it, the dispersion relation is obtained for a plasma layer of finite thickness and having an exponentially varying density. It is found that the finite Larmor radius effects can thoroughly stabilize unstable configurations.
