The subtlety of the outermost stellarator magnetic surface
Alkesh Punjabi, Allen H. Boozer
An analytic model of the magnetic field line behavior in a stellarator is used to study the subtlety of the concept of an outermost magnetic surface. The analytic model that we use…

The topology of non-resonant stellarator divertors
Robert Davies, Christopher B. Smiet, Alkesh Punjabi +2
We apply topological methods to better understand how the magnetic field in the stellarator edge can be diverted away from the confined region. Our primary method is calculating th…
