New information on the development of Alfvén modes in the Globus-M2 spherical tokamak is presented. The data were obtained using a V-band Doppler reflectometer with probing radiation frequencies from 50 to 75 GHz. A microwave harmonic synthesizer was used as a multifrequency probing source. As a result of using a new reflectometer, the localization of the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode has been determined at a magnetic field of 0.5 T. The spectral components of the Alfvén mode with Doppler frequency shifts due to toroidal plasma rotation have been recorded. The so-called Alfvén cascades have been investigated in the central regions of the discharge.

It has been shown (Markey and Tayler, 1973; Tayler, 1973; Wright, 1973) that a wide range of simple magnetic field configurations in stars are unstable. Although the ultimate effect of the instabilities is unclear, it seems likely that they would lead to enhanced destruction of magnetic flux, so that magnetic field decay would be much more rapid than previously supposed. Instability is almost certain in a non-rotating star containing either a purely toroidal field or a purely poloidal field, which has closed field lines inside the star. In both cases the instability resembles the well known instabilities of cylindrical and toroidal current channels, modified by the constraint that motion must be almost entirely along surfaces of constant gravitational potential.If both toroidal and poloidal fields are present, the problem is more complicated. In a toroidal plasma with a helical field, the worst instabilities are also helical but it is impossible for a helical disturbance to be parallel to a surface of constant gravitational potential everywhere. As a result, the admixture of toroidal and poloidal fields has a stabilizing influence, but it is not at present clear whether the majority of such configurations are completely stable.The effect of rotation has not yet been studied but it will certainly be important if the rotation period is less than the time taken for an Alfvén wave to cross the region of interest. This is true in most stars unless the internal magnetic field is very much stronger than any observed field.
