Special Issue: New Stellarators New stellarators are being constructed throughout the world as part of a well-coordinated international program. This issue concentrates on the engineering and construction details of Large Helical Device (LHD), Toki, Japan Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), Greifswald, Germany Helias Stellarator Experiment (HSX), Madison Wisconsin, USA TJ-II, Madrid, Spain
Stellarator News, an international journal of the stellarator community, is Published by Fusion Energy Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, James A. Rome, Editor In the March 1995 issue . . . **** Exerpts from the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assment report on TPX and Alternate Concepts. **** Edge transport and turbulence studies on U-3M The turbulent-driven particle flow is shown to be comparable with the equilibrium flow at the boundary of the configuration under Alfven-heating conditions in the U-3M torsatron. **** Topological aspects of island divertor studies on W7-AS The structure of the edge plasma in W7-AS, observed with probes, television camera, and H-alpha light agrees at low beta with vacuum field calculations: the low-valued resonances at iotabar=5/m are resolved for m = 8 to 11; external perturbations are not significant at the edge, even for iotabar = 5/10. **** 140-GHz second harmonic O-mode electron cyclotron heating at W7-AS First experimental results are presented of 140-GHz second harmonic O-mode (0.7-MW power) ECRH at a high electron density of 1.8 x 10^20 m^-3 on W7-AS. **** Equilibrium plasma currents in quasi-symmetric stellarators with a helical magnetic axis The plasma currents in quasi-symmetric stellarators are calculated to determe the quasi-symmetric conditions with the help of analytical equations.
The Stellarator News is a bi-monthly newsletter covering the international stellarator community.
