The fixed boundary plasma equilibrium basis for a one Gigawatt electric stellarator power plant
Samuel A. Lazerson, António J. Coelho, Dana Douqa +9
A fixed boundary stellarator equilibrium capable of producing 3 GW of fusion power (1 GW-electric) is presented as the design basis for the GIGA fusion power plant being developed…

High-performance orbit-following code ASCOT5 for Monte Carlo simulations in fusion plasmas
Jari Varje, Konsta Särkimäki, Joona Kontula +5
We present a novel implementation of a Monte Carlo particle-following code for solving the distribution function of minority species in fusion plasmas, called ASCOT5, and verify it…
