Abstract
At finite ratios of the kinetic plasma pressure to the magnetic pressure, the magnetic confinement configurations of axisymmetric plasma columns tend to acquire characteristics that hinder the onset of instabilities driven by the combined effects of magnetic curvature and pressure gradient. A simple analytical dispersion relation that contains the main physical factors affecting an important class of these modes is given.
