Abstract
The stability of high-beta plasmas with helical magnetic axis is studied
by investigating the linearized magnetohydrodynamic equations. It is
shown that the stability of shearless configurations is determined by an
ordinary differential equation that describes modes with large
variations across the flux surfaces.
