Description
We propose a theory that a new type of magnetic reconnection, nonlinear driven reconnection, is triggered during the nonlinear development of an m = 1 helical kink-mode instability. This reconnection process can well explain nonlinear reconnection observed in the previous simulation and can be a candidate for the self-reversal mechanism in the reversed-field pinch
