The Geometry of Flux Surfaces with Quasi-Poloidal Symmetry
Rishin Madan, Wrick Sengupta, Elizabeth J. Paul +4
Quasi-poloidal (QP) magnetic fields have desirable properties for confining plasma: no radial drift of guiding centres (with positive implications for neoclassical transport), zero…

Feasibility of a Flexible, Hybrid Tokamak-Stellarator Experiment using an Axisymmetric Dipole Coil Array
Jacob Halpern, Mohammed Haque, Elizabeth Paul +5
We demonstrate the design of a flexible, university-scale hybrid tokamak-stellarator experiment based on an axisymmetric array of planar HTS dipole coils. Because the coil array ha…
