The thermal stability of a thermonuclear plasma in a mirror reactor is obtained by a simple model The effect of the loss of thermonuclear alpha particles due to collisional pitch-angle scattering into loss cones is included in this analysis. The effect of the collisional loss is significant, and it has a stabilizing effect on the thermal instability.
