The Peeling-Ballooning Model is a description of MHD stability in the edge region of tokamaks, where plasma can go either peeling unstable or ballooning unstable  
The Peeling-Ballooning Model is a description of MHD stability in the edge region of tokamaks. It predicts where combinations of pedestal pressure and bootstrap current lead to peeling unstable or ballooning unstable modes

</ref>. As such, the peeling-ballooning model is one possible explanation for the formation of [[Edge Localized Modes]].  
It is one candidate mechanism underlying the formation of [[Edge Localized Modes]].
