Connection between quasi-symmetric magnetic fields and anisotropic pressure equilibria in fusion plasmas

Eduardo Rodriguez, Amitava Bhattacharjee

The stellarator as a concept of magnetic confinement fusion requires careful design to confine particles effectively. A design possibility is to equip the magnetic field with a pro…

Solving the problem of overdetermination of quasisymmetric equilbrium solutions by near-axis expansions. II. Circular axis stellarators

Eduardo Rodriguez, Amitava Bhattacharjee

We apply the near-axis expansion method for quasisymmetric magnetic fields with anisotropic pressure (developed in the companion paper, Part I [E. Rodriguez, A. Bhattacharjee, arXi…

Solving the problem of overdetermination of quasisymmetric equilbrium solutions by near-axis expansions: I. Generalised force balance

Eduardo Rodriguez, Amitava Bhattacharjee

It is well known that the process of construction of quasisymmetric magnetic fields in magnetostatic equilibrium with isotropic pressure suffers from the problem of overdeterminati…

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Quasisymmetry

Eduardo Rodriguez, Per Helander, Amitava Bhattacharjee

A necessary and sufficient set of conditions for a quasisymmetric magnetic field in the form of constraint equations is derived from first principles. Without any assumption regard…

Kinetic simulations of electron pre-energization by magnetized collisionless shocks in expanding laboratory plasmas

K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer +4

Collisionless shocks are common features in space and astrophysical systems where supersonic plasma flows interact, such as in the solar wind, the heliopause, and supernova remnant…
