Abstract: We investigated the structure of magnetic field lines in a tokamak with reversed magnetic shear and non-symmetric perturbations by means of analytically derived area-preserving non-twist Poincaré maps. The maps are used to study magnetic island dimerization and the formation of a transport barrier in the chaotic layer of field lines.
