Statistical equilibrium model for stellarators
Maximilian Ruth, Joshua W. Burby, Wrick Sengupta +1
In three dimensional toroidal domains without symmetry, the standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium model used for magnetic confinement fusion does not generally support smo…

Non-perturbative guiding center model for magnetized plasmas
J. W. Burby, I. A. Maldonado, M. Ruth +1
Perturbative guiding center theory adequately describes the slow drift motion of charged particles in the strongly-magnetized regime characteristic of thermal particle populations…

The High-Order Magnetic Near-Axis Expansion: Ill-Posedness and Regularization
Maximilian Ruth, Rogerio Jorge, David Bindel
When analyzing stellarator configurations, it is common to perform an asymptotic expansion about the magnetic axis. This so-called near-axis expansion is convenient for the same re…
