Which mechanism limits energy output during plasma pinching fusion attempts?

💡 Explanation

Rayleigh-Taylor instability disrupts the plasma column as magnetic pressure accelerates lighter plasma into heavier plasma, because this induces turbulence therefore reduces confinement time, rather than Compton scattering increase arising from electron collisions affecting plasma density profiles.
