Collisionless microinstabilities in stellarators III - the ion-temperature-gradient mode
G. G. Plunk, P. Helander, P. Xanthopoulos +1
We investigate the linear theory of the ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) mode, with the goal of developing a general understanding that may be applied to stellarators. We highlight t…
Collisionless microinstabilities in stellarators II - numerical simulations
J. H. E. Proll, P. Xanthopoulos, P. Helander
Microinstabilities exhibit a rich variety of behavior in stellarators due to the many degrees of freedom in the magnetic geometry. It has recently been found that certain stellarat…
Collisionless microinstabilities in stellarators I - analytical theory of trapped-particle modes
P. Helander, J. H. E. Proll, G. G. Plunk
This is the first of two papers about collisionless, electrostatic micro-instabilities in stellarators, with an emphasis on trapped-particle modes. It is found that, in so-called m…
