Abstract
A multifluid model is considered for rigid rotor equilibrium in an axisymmetric, semi-infinite, isothermal, fully magnetized plasma column with negligible radial diffusion. The plasma potential profile is self-consistently calculated using a perturbation expansion and is found to be parabolic. The radial ion and electron density distributions are then Gaussians.Keywords
