Nonlinear oscillations of the amplitude of energetic-particle induced geodesic acoustic modes
E. Sida, A. Biancalani, A. Bottino +2
Energetic particle induced geodesic acoustic modes (EGAMs) are axisymmetric perturbations of the radial electric field in tokamak plasmas. They are driven unstable by the phase spa…
Frequency Chirping of Energetic-Particle-Driven Geodesic Acoustic Modes in Tokamaks
R. Wu, A. Biancalani, M. V. Falessi +5
A suprathermal population of ions is present in tokamak plasmas due to external heating mechanisms and fusion reactions. These energetic particles (EPs) can drive waves unstable, v…
Overview of the Helios Design: A Practical Planar Coil Stellarator Fusion Power Plant
C. P. S. Swanson, S. T. A. Kumar, D. W. Dudt +39
Thea Energy, Inc. has developed the preconceptual design for "Helios," a fusion power plant based on the planar coil stellarator architecture. In this overview paper, the design is…
Planar Coil Optimization for the Eos Stellarator using Sparse Regression
Ryan Wu, Thomas Kruger, Charles Swanson
A challenge in the design of stellarators for confining plasma at conditions relevant to fusion energy generation is designing a feasible set of magnetic field coils which can crea…
