A theory of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect is developed toelucidate a structural phase transition observed in the CsCuCl3crystal. This theory establishes the relationship between the localand the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect. We find that the helicalalignment of Cl- ions along the c-axis agrees with experimentaldata when the two Δ6 modes of the phonons executed bythe Cl- ions contribute to the structutal phase transition.
