Rotation is favorable for confinement, but a stellarator can rotate at high speeds if and only if it is sufficiently close to quasisymmetry. This article investigates how close it needs to be. For a magnetic field $\mathbf{B} = \mathbf{B}_0…
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…
