According to the stability analysis of the ideal MHD modes with a low toroidal mode number, we find that the ideal MHD mode gives a constraint on the operational regime of the pressure gradients in the core. In the edge, a clear saturation of the pressure gradients due to the ideal MHD instability has not been observed up to the high beta regime around 3% as the volume-averaged toridal beta value, where global ideal MHD modes are predicted to be unstable.}, title = {Relationships between the Prediction of Linear MHD Stability Criteria and the Experiment in LHD}, volume = {Vol.6}, year = {2004} }
