Scientific paper

A procedure which reconciles long parallel wavelength, characteristic of plasma instabilities, with periodicity in a sheared toroidal magnetic field is described. Applied to the problem of high-n ballooning modes in Tokamaks it makes possible a full minimization of the potential energy functional delta W and shows that previous calculations overestimated stability.
