Physics studies on heliotron/torsatron plasmas

Journal Article · · Fusion Technology
OSTI ID:219740
Physics studies are carried out on a heliotron/torsatron plasmas concentrating on the Large Helical Device (LHD). Flexibility and freedom of LHD as an experimental device are emphasized. A variety of configurations can be realized changing the pitch parameter and the poloidal fields. The possibilities to reduce the bootstrap current and to enhance the radial electric field are investigated. 13 refs.
