Spectrally accurate, reverse-mode differentiable bounce-averaging algorithm and its applications
Kaya Unalmis, Rahul Gaur, Rory Conlin +2
We present a fast, spectrally (exponentially) accurate, automatically differentiable bounce-averaging algorithm that is used to simplify kinetic models. Using this algorithm, imple…

Omnigenous umbilic stellarators
R. Gaur, D. Panici, T. M. Elder +6
To better understand the dependence of the magnetic field structure in the plasma edge on the plasma boundary shape, in the context of X-point and island divertor designs, we defin…

Omnigenous stellarator equilibria with enhanced stability
Rahul Gaur, Rory Conlin, David Dickinson +7
To build an economically viable stellarator, it is essential to find a configuration that satisfies a set of favorable properties to achieve efficient steady-state nuclear fusion.…
