THEORY OF CONFINEMENT IN THE STELLARATOR

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4328275· OSTI ID:4328275

The fundamental element of any thermonuclear reactor is the magnetic field configuration used to confine the plasma. The principles of confinement by magnetic fields produced by external coils are analyzed and applied to an infinite cylinder, a simple torus, and the figure "8" of the Princeton Stellarator.
