Plasma electron acceleration in a non-resonant microwave heating scheme below the electron cyclotron frequency

New Journal of Physics, 2022
Microwave heating of over-dense plasmas is routinely achieved in the stellarator TJ-K. In contrast to usually applied heating scenarios in tokamaks or stellarators, an operational regime is described where the heating occurs well below the electron ...

An Enhanced Evaluation Method of Sequential Probability Ratio Test

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Accurate event detection has high priority in many technical applications. Events in acquired data series, their duration, and statistical parameters provide useful information about the observed system and about its current state. This information can be used for condition monitoring, state identification, and many kinds of forecasting as well.

Impurity transport and bulk ion flow in a mixed collisionality stellarator plasma

, 2017
The accumulation of impurities in the core of magnetically confined plasmas, resulting from standard collisional transport mechanisms, is a known threat to their performance as fusion energy sources.

Coarse-grained gyrokinetics for the critical ion temperature gradient in stellarators

Physical Review Research, 2022
We present a modified gyrokinetic theory to predict the critical gradient that determines the linear onset of the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode in stellarator plasmas.

Stellar Chromospheres [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1980
Important progress in our understanding of stellar chromospheres has occurred in the past few years as a result of new observations, developments in spectral line formation theory, and the application of that theory to the construction of detailed model chromospheres.

Fast and Invertible Simplicial Approximation of Magnetic‐Following Interpolation for Visualizing Fusion Plasma Simulation Data

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for fusion plasma simulation data represented as 2D planar meshes with connectivities approximating magnetic field lines along the toroidal dimension in deformed 3D toroidal spaces. Scientific variables (e.g., density and temperature) in these fusion data are interpolated following a complex ...

Design of transverse magnetic field sweeping solenoids for 140 GHz mega‐watt gyrotrons

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 14, Page 682-685, 2018., 2018
As the overlarge power density at the collector of mega‐watt (MW) gyrotrons limits the increase in their average output power and pulse width, transverse magnetic field sweeping solenoids (TMFSS) with periodical changing magnetic field have been designed for a 140 GHz MW gyrotron developed and tested at Beijing Vacuum Electronics Research Institute ...

Stellarator fusion systems enabled by arrays of planar coils

Nuclear Fusion
We present an overview of a novel electromagnetic coil configuration for stellarators and its application to two near-term fusion systems. The novel coil configuration is the planar coil stellarator, able to implement precisely-quasisymmetric 3D magnetic
