مستخلص: In this paper, the first part deals with the structure of the second stability regime of the ideal MHD ballooning modes in circular tokamaks. It is shown that in high-beta regime, the poloidal magnetic field destabilizes strongly the plasma and can eventually lead to the appearance of a new instability regime at modest beta-value for a flat q-profile. In the second part, the various kinetic effects on ballooning modes or high-beta tokamaks are calculated. Results show that a new weak ballooning mode branch can exist in the second MHD stability regime in addition to the MHD-like strong ballooning mode branch in the first instability regime with its growth rate decreased by kinetic stabilizations.
