Direct Optimization of Fast-Ion Confinement in Stellarators
David Bindel, Matt Landreman, Misha Padidar
Confining energetic ions such as alpha particles is a prime concern in the design of stellarators. However, directly measuring alpha confinement through numerical simulation of gui…

Direct Microstability Optimization of Stellarator Devices
R. Jorge, W. Dorland, P. Kim +4
Turbulent transport is regarded as one of the key issues in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, both for tokamaks in stellarators. In this work, we show that a significant decreas…
