Title: Design studies of low aspect-ratio torsatrons: Final performance report, 1 June 1987--31 May 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6569512

Low Aspect Ratio is one of many design criteria for torsatrons. A new magnetic field design technique based on the Hamiltonian structure of magnetic field line flow is used to investigate feasible torsatron configurations. Significant improvements have been made in the computer code IFS. The problem of too large a magnetic axis wobble has been solved with the addition of an l = 1 m = 6 helical coil. A practical non-intersecting coil set has been designed. 4 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
