Scientific paper

The effect of cylindrical neutral sheet geometry on the tearing-mode (disruptive) instability is studied in detail. The instability growth rates are found for all the pertinent cases. Cylindrical effects come into play when the distance from the neutral sheet to the axis is small in comparison with the characteristic thickness of the sheet. The ultimate result is that the electron instability mode is replaced by an ion mode. These results are of interest in connection with the study of the plasma stability in devices of the Astron type and in magnetospheres like that of Uranus.
