Magnetic field evolution and reconnection in low resistivity plasmas
Allen H. Boozer
The mathematics and physics of each of the three aspects of magnetic field evolution -- topology, energy, and helicity -- is remarkably simple and clear. When the resistivity i…
Judgment of paradigms for magnetic reconnection in coronal loops
Allen H Boozer
The traditional paradigm for magnetic field lines changing connections ignores magnetic field line chaos and requires an extremely large current density, , flow…
Required toroidal confinement for fusion and omnigeneity
Allen H Boozer
Deuterium-tritium (DT) burning requires a long energy confinement times compared to collision times, so the particle distribution functions must approximate local-Maxwellians. Non-…
Constraints on stellarator divertors from Hamiltonian mechanics
Allen H Boozer
The design of any large stellarator requires a plan for the removal of the particles and heat that are exhausted across the plasma edge. This is called the divertor problem, for th…
Local analysis of fast magnetic reconnection
Allen H Boozer
Fast magnetic reconnection is defined by the topology of the magnetic field lines changing on a timescale that is approximately an order of magnitude longer than the topology-conse…
