Mercier criterion

The Mercier criterion is a criterion for plasma used in the theoretical study of plasma instability. It was first proposed in 1954 by C. Mercier, who applied the perturbation method (in which represents the frequency and is the z-direction of the unit vector) to the plasma mathematical model to compute calculations.[1][2]
