Abstract: We study the existence problem for tilted unduloids in

m a t h b b H^{2} i m e s m a t h b b R

. These are singly periodic annuli with constant mean curvature

H > 1 / 2

in

m a t h b b H^{2} i m e s m a t h b b R

, and the periodicity of these surfaces is with respect to a discrete group of translations along a geodesic that is neither vertical nor horizontal in the Riemannian product

m a t h b b H^{2} i m e s m a t h b b R

. Via the Daniel correspondence we are able to reduce this existence problem to a uniqueness problem in the Berger spheres: if a pair of linked horizontal geodesics bounds exactly two embedded minimal annuli (for a fixed orientation of the boundary curves) then tilted unduloids in

m a t h b b H^{2} i m e s m a t h b b R

exist.
