The Peeling-Ballooning Model is a description of MHD stability in the edge region of tokamaks. It predicts operational regimes where pedestal pressure and bootstrap current lead to peeling unstable or ballooning unstable modes [1] [2]. The peeling-ballooning model is one possible mechanism for the formation of Edge Localized Modes.
