Scientific paper

Ballooning instabilities in Tokamaks of arbitrary cross section and finite shear are studied. These azimuthally localized ideal magnetohydrodynamic modes have large toroidal-mode numbers, but finite variation along the field and across the flux surfaces. Stability is determined by solving a second-order ordinary differential equation on each flux surface, subject to the proper boundary conditions. Qualitative agreement is achieved with the PEST two-dimensional MHD stability code.
