Phase-Space Non-Integrability of Alpha Particles in Near-Omnigeneous Stellarators
A. L. Lachmann, A. R. Knyazev, E. J. Paul
In a burning plasma, fusion-born alpha particles sustain the fusion reaction by heating the plasma core. Alpha-particle confinement in stellarators is sensitive to both deviations…
