The prediction of perturbed equilibrium models for tokamaks with small 3D fields is strongly dependent on which reference frame for axisymmetry is assumed - for example, the toroidal field (TF) coil vs the poloidal field (PF) coil centroid.…

Separators, which are in many ways the three-dimensional equivalent to two-dimensional nulls, are important sites for magnetic reconnection. Magnetic reconnection occurs in strong current layers which have very short length scales. The aim…

Parallel thermal conduction along stochastic magnetic field lines may be reduced because the heat conducting electrons become trapped and detrapped between regions of strong magnetic field (magnetic mirrors). The problem reduces to a simple…
Quasi-axisymmetric stellarators are the stellarator analogue of the axisymmetric tokamak, retaining many of its favorable confinement properties, its compacity and its relative coil simplicity, while avoiding its principal limitation, the…
Tokamaks and stellarators are the leading two magnetic confinement devices for producing fusion energy, begging the question of whether the strengths of the two could be merged into a single concept. To meet this challenge, we propose a…
