Title: Finite /beta/ stellarators

Abstract

A fully three-dimensional computer code based on an ideal magnetohydrodynamic model has been used to find stellarator configurations with finite critical values of the plasma parameter /beta/. It is established that the WISTOR-U torsatron designed at the University of Wisconsin and the Heliotron E experiment constructed at Kyoto University have average /beta/ limits near 5 percent. 10 refs.
