A magnetohydrodynamic instability which can develop in a plasma column carrying a strong axial current. When a constriction of the column begins to develop the magnetic field becomes stronger which further constricts the plasma, possibly even leading to current interruption. 3, record 1, English, - sausage%20instability

Instabilité magnétohydrodynamique qui peut se développer dans une colonne de plasma parcourue par un courant axial intense. Quand une constriction de la colonne commence à se former, le champ magnétique devient plus fort, ce qui renforce la constriction du plasma jusqu'à une interruption possible du courant. 4, record 1, French, - instabilit%C3%A9%20en%20saucisse
