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

The maximum-J property in quasi-isodynamic stellarators
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
Global gyrokinetic simulations find a strong suppression of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence by zonal flows in stellarators optimized for neoclassical transport.

Exploration of the parameter space of piecewise omnigenous stellarator magnetic fields
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]
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
