On shear Alfvén wave-induced energetic ion transport in optimized stellarators
A. R. Knyazev, A. Lachmann, A. G. Goodman +4
In this work, we investigate prompt ion drift orbit losses caused by shear Alfvén waves (SAW) in quasi-symmetric (QS) and quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators optimized for equilibri…

Periodic Korteweg-de Vries soliton potentials generate quasisymmetric magnetic field strength in a finite plasma-beta equilibrium
W. Sengupta, R. Madan, S. Buller +6
Quasisymmetry (QS) is a hidden symmetry of the magnetic field strength, B, that enables effective confinement of charged particles in a fully three-dimensional (3D) toroidal plasma…
