Feasibility of a Flexible, Hybrid Tokamak-Stellarator Experiment using an Axisymmetric Dipole Coil Array
Jacob Halpern, Mohammed Haque, Elizabeth Paul +6
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…
Compact Experimental Negative TriAngUlarity Reactor (CENTAUR): A design study for a compact, affordable breakeven tokamak
The CENTAUR Collaboration, Samuel W. Freiberger, Evan Bursch +33
This work presents the compact experimental negative triangularity reactor (CENTAUR), a low overnight cost, high-field tokamak, breakeven reactor design, achieving a predicted tota…
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…
Integrating Novel Stellarator Single-Stage Optimization Algorithms to Design the Columbia Stellarator Experiment
A. Baillod, E. J. Paul, G. Rawlinson +3
The Columbia Stellarator eXperiment (CSX), currently being designed at Columbia University, aims to test theoretical predictions related to QA plasma behavior, and to pioneer the c…
