Description

Helical equilibria for the m/n=2 mode in a plasma cylinder are studied by numerical and analytical methods. These helical equilibria are shown to be present within the subrange qcr<qo<1 of the kink instability range qcr<qo. Transition across the stability boundary, qcr, corresponds to a bifurcation from axially symmetric equilibria towards helical equilibria with elliptical cross-section. (author)
