ABSTRACT A variational principle is developed for computing accurate values of local
plasma transport coefficients in nonsymmetric toroidal confinement configurations …

Fusion energy is often regarded as a long-term solution to the world's energy needs.
However, even after solving the critical research challenges, engineering and materials …

Systematic stability studies of the negative central shear (NCS) configuration reveal a
synergistic relationship between the gains in the ideal n= 1 magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) β …

'The text provides an interesting history of previous and anticipated accomplishments,
ending with a chapter on the relationship of fusion power to nuclear weaponry. They …

ABSTRACT A theory of I, he nonlinear evolution and saturation of resistivity driven
turbulence, which evolves from linear rippling instabilities, is presented. The nonlinear …

The propagation and absorption of electromagnetic waves in a relativistic Maxwellian
plasma are investigated by solving the uniform plasma dispersion relation. Both the …

A three-dimensional (3-D) algorithm for solving Maxwell's equations is applied to the
analysis of folded waveguides used for fusion plasma heating at the ion cyclotron resonance …

This is an abridged abstract; please see the full paper. This paper evaluates whether the
nuclear nonproliferation regime applies to fusion power plants and finds that, legally, the …

Loss of alpha particles from compact torsatron reactors with M= 6, 9, and 12, where M is the
number of field periods, is studied. The direct loss is a relatively weak function of radius and …

A detailed study of the flexible Heliac configuration is presented. The remarkable flexibility of
this device, which allows variation of the rotational transform, shear, and magnetic well …
