Response to Comment on Continuum modes in rotating plasmas: General equations and continuous spectra for large aspect ratio tokamaks' [Phys. Plasmas 19, 064701 (2012)]

The equations for the continuous spectra derived in our paper [V. P. Lakhin and V. I. Ilgisonis, Phys. Plasmas 18, 092103 (2011)] can be reduced to the matrix form used by Goedbloed [Phys. Plasmas 11, 28 (2004)]. It is shown that the assumptions made in our paper provide the elliptic flow regime and guarantee the existence of plasma equilibrium with nested magnetic surfaces of circular cross-section. The new results on magnetohydrodynamic instabilities of such tokamak equilibria obtained in our paper but absent in the paper by Goedbloed are emphasized. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
