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
- Archive available here
- Irregular meetings
