Collisionless microinstabilities in stellarators I - analytical theory of trapped-particle modes

open access: yes, 2013
This is the first of two papers about collisionless, electrostatic micro-instabilities in stellarators, with an emphasis on trapped-particle modes. It is found that, in so-called maximum-$J$ configurations, trapped-particle instabilities are absent in ...

open access: yes, 2023
0000-0002-5601-7106The Chinese first quasi-axisymmetric stellarator (CFQS), which will be the first quasi-axisymmetric (QA) stellarator in the world, is now under construction.

The maximum-J property in quasi-isodynamic stellarators

open access: yesJournal of Plasma Physics
Some stellarators tend to benefit from favourable average magnetic curvature for trapped particles when the plasma pressure is sufficiently high. This so-called maximum- $J$ property has several positive implications, such as good fast-particle confinement, magnetohydrodynamic stability and suppression of certain trapped ...

Geometry effects on zonal flow dynamics and turbulent transport in optimized stellarators

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Global gyrokinetic simulations find a strong suppression of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence by zonal flows in stellarators optimized for neoclassical transport.

Results from helical axis stellarators

open access: yes, 2001
Helical axis stellarators produce magnetic surfaces of high rotational transform and moderate shear solely by means of external currents, with the promise of high b.

Exploration of the parameter space of piecewise omnigenous stellarator magnetic fields

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Piecewise omnigenous fields are stellarator magnetic fields that are optimized with respect to radial neoclassical transport thanks to a second adiabatic invariant that is piecewisely constant on the flux-surface.

Quasi-geometric integration of guiding-center orbits in piecewise linear toroidal fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A numerical integration method for guiding-center orbits of charged particles in toroidal fusion devices with three-dimensional field geometry is described. Here, high order interpolation of electromagnetic fields in space is replaced by a special linear
