The Forum of Small Stellarators is a voluntary and informal group of scientists interested in research with small stellarators. "Small" is deliberately undefined, but usually applies to devices that are not pushing the frontiers of performance.

Motivation

  • There is renewed global interest in small, affordable, student-oriented stellarators.
  • Small projects have less people/resources, inherent difficulties due to small size, but great potential to benefit from shared experience.

Goal

This Forum should be a resource to discuss:

  • compelling physics questions (not pushing )
  • engineering tips and hardware choices
  • diagnostic challenges in small devices
  • experiment configuration and design
  • cross-device comparisons

Activities

  • Email list: to join, send "subscribe" to forum-of-small-stellarators at ipp.mpg.de
  • Irregular meetings

Meetings

24th ISHW, Hiroshima, Japan, September 2024
