Critical gradient optimization for quasi-isodynamic stellarators
G. T. Roberg-Clark, P. Xanthopoulos, G. G. Plunk +1
We present new and updated methods for reducing transport caused by electrostatic ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven turbulence in quasi-isodynamic (QI) configurations. We first…

Enhanced performance in quasi-isodynamic max- stellarators with a turbulent particle pinch
G. G. Plunk, A. G. Goodman, P. Xanthopoulos +7
Recent stellarator reactor designs demonstrate mostly outward turbulent particle transport, which, without advanced fueling technology, inhibits the formation of density gradients…
