Ion-temperature-gradient stability near the magnetic axis of quasisymmetric stellarators
R. Jorge, M. Landreman
The stability of the ion-temperature gradient mode in quasisymmetric stellarators is assessed. This is performed using a set of analytical estimates together with linear gyrokineti…

An adjoint method for determining the sensitivity of island size to magnetic field variations
Alessandro Geraldini, Matt Landreman, Elizabeth Paul
An adjoint method to calculate the gradient of island width in stellarators is presented and applied to a set of magnetic field configurations. The underlying method of calculation…
