A new quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarator configuration optimized for the confinement of
energetic ions at low plasma β is obtained. The numerical optimization is carried out using …

Increasing public and private investment, experimental and technological breakthroughs,
and a growing number of demonstration plants and testing facilities under development …

Magnetic fields with quasi-symmetry are known to provide good confinement of charged
particles and plasmas, but the extent to which quasi-symmetry can be achieved in practice …

The neoclassical transport optimization of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator has not resulted in
the predicted high energy confinement of gas fueled electron-cyclotron-resonance-heated …

Stellarator magnetic configurations need to be optimized in order to meet all the required
properties of a fusion reactor. In this work, it is shown that a flat-mirror quasi-isodynamic (QI) …

In state-of-the-art stellarators, turbulence is a major cause of the degradation of plasma
confinement. To maximize confinement, which eventually determines the amount of nuclear …

A tokamak relies on the axisymmetric magnetic fields to confine fusion plasmas and aims to
deliver sustainable and clean energy. However, misalignments arise inevitably in the …

A collisionless plasma possesses a certain amount of 'available energy', which is that part of
the thermal energy that can be converted into kinetic energy of plasma motion and …

Under the ambitious EUROfusion mission of “bringing the stellarator line to technological
maturity”, the development of a Dual Coolant Lithium–Lead (DCLL) Breeding Blanket (BB) …

In omnigenous magnetic fields, charged particles are perfectly confined in the absence of
collisions and turbulence. For this reason, the magnetic configuration is optimized to be …
