The magnetized liner inertial fusion concept (S. A. Slutz , Phys. Plasmas 17 , 056303 (2010)) consists of a cylindrical metal liner enclosing a preheated plasma that is embedded in an axial magnetic field. Because of its diffusion into the liner, the pulsed azimuthal magnetic field may exhibit a strong magnetic shear within the liner, offering the interesting possibility of shear stabilization of the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability. Here, we use the ideal MHD model to study this effect of magnetic shear in a finite slab. It is found that magnetic shear reduces the MRT growth rate in general. The feedthrough factor is virtually independent of magnetic shear. In the limit of infinite magnetic shear, all MRT modes are stable if b u > 1, where b u is the ratio of the perturbed magnetic tension in the liner’s interior region to the acceleration during implosion.
