A class of high-beta, large-aspect-ratio quasiaxisymmetric Palumbo-like configurations
Andrew Brown, Wrick Sengupta, Nikita Nikulsin +1
The space of high-beta, approximately quasiaxisymmetric, large-aspect-ratio stellarator configurations is explored using an inverse coordinate approach and a quadratic polynomial a…
Periodic Korteweg-de Vries soliton potentials generate quasisymmetric magnetic field strength in a finite plasma-beta equilibrium
W. Sengupta, R. Madan, S. Buller +6
Quasisymmetry (QS) is a hidden symmetry of the magnetic field strength, B, that enables effective confinement of charged particles in a fully three-dimensional (3D) toroidal plasma…
A Grad-Shafranov model for compact quasisymmetric stellarators
Nikita Nikulsin, Wrick Sengupta, Stefan Buller +1
A Grad-Shafranov equation (GSE) valid for compact quasisymmetric stellarators is derived by an asymptotic expansion around a vacuum field carried to first order. We obtain an equat…
Enhanced Collisional Losses from a Magnetic Mirror Using the Lenard-Bernstein Collision Operator
Maxwell H. Rosen, Wrick Sengupta, Ian Ochs +2
Collisions are crucial in governing particle and energy transport in plasmas confined in a magnetic mirror trap. Modern gyrokinetic codes model transport in magnetic mirrors, but s…
