Abstract

A stability criterion for axisymmetric modes of ideal MHD equilibria without wall stabilization is derived for linear profiles with vanishing current density at the edge. Using perturbation theory, the critical half-axis ratio of the elliptical cross-section is computed for finite aspect ratio.
