Abstract
We report the results of a linear radial-eigenmode analysis of dissipative drift waves in a plasma with magnetic shear and spatially varying density gradient. The results of the analysis are shown to be consistent with a recent experiment concerned with dissipative drift-wave instabilities in a toroidal stellarator.Keywords
