First plasma in Wendelstein 7-X and first measurements for us!
The first official plasma has been obtained in Wendelstein 7-X today at 2015-12-10T12:28:15.182965421Z in the official W7-X time base. We participated remotely in the inauguration ceremony and could feel the excitement of all people involved …
Two papers published in the present volume of Physics of Plasmas!
One paper deals with the helical modulation of the electrostatic potential around edge magnetic islands in tokamaks and the similarity to ion and electron root transport in stellarators. This paper is the result of a collaborative study with Drs. G. …
Wendelstein 7-X stellarator is ready for operation!
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator designed, constructed and soon to be operated by the Max-Plank-Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald Germany is ready for operation. In the past couple of weeks the superconducting magnetic coils system …
We received two more grants from the Department of Energy (DoE)!
(1) DoE Early Career Award funds work on “Plasma Materials Interaction with Three-Dimensional Plasma Boundaries” (2) DoE Grant for International Stellarator Collaboration together with the Auburn University for work on “Three-dimensional equilibrium stability and its impact on island divertor …
