When the Alf'ven effect is present in magnetohydrodynamics
one is naturally led to consider conformal field theories, which
have logarithmic terms in their correlation functions. We discuss the
implications of such logarithmic terms and
find a logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge
, within the border of the minimal series, which
satisfies all the constraints.
The energy spectrum is found to be
