Notes:
By adjusting the electrostatic potential on the end plates of a mirror plasma, the plasma's magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability can be altered. Furthermore, the plasma's MHD response to low-frequency modulation of the end plates can be used to pump unwanted ions that collect in a thermal barrier. Here, precise boundary conditions are derived for the MHD equations of motion to model an end plate separated from the plasma by a sheath.
