High-beta ST research is motivated by its high normalized current Ip/aBT0 achievable at a low aspect ratio and its direct access to second stability for ballooning modes. Key issues for the high-beta ST sustainment are profile control for ballooning/ current-driven kink stabilities and positioning of the conductive wall for mode suppression. ST termination by resistive wall modes (RWM) revealed that velocity shear is a useful tool for the better stability.
