Controlling writhe in stellarator optimization
Tobias M. Schuett, Sophia A. Henneberg
The writhe of a closed curve measures its coiling, and for a ribbon along it, writhe is the contribution to the linking number not due to twist. In stellarators, large writhe impli…

Understanding and Quantifying Banana Coil Magnetic Fields and Forces for Enhanced Optimisation
Annika Zettl, Tobias Schuett, Sophia Henneberg
The optimised tokamak-stellarator hybrid concept (Henneberg and Plunk 2024) has the potential to combine tokamak and stellarator advantages to achieve magnetically confined fusion.…

Exploring novel compact quasi-axisymmetric stellarators
Tobias M. Schuett, Sophia A. Henneberg
The new class of compact quasi-axisymmetric stellarators with a wide range of field periods offers the unique potential to combine the advantages of the two leading magnetic confin…
