Revision as of 07:59, 3 November 2026
The magnetic configurations of the low shear stellarator TJ-II in vacuum are specified by a label consisting of 3 numbers: X_Y_Z. These numbers represent the currents flowing in the external coils.
- X is the current in the helical coil (HX, in kA) times 10
- Y is the current in the circular coil (CC, in kA) times 10
- Z is the current in the vertical field coil (VF, in kA) times 10
The current in the toroidal field coils (TF) is not specified, as it is defined implicitly by requiring that the magnetic field equals 0.95 T at the magnetic axis in the relevant poloidal cross sections (where ECRH is injected) in order to ensure central power deposition.
A wide range of configurations is available. The following table lists a number of them.

Flexibility

The magnetic configurations of TJ-II offer ample flexibility in terms of rotational transform, plasma volume, and magnetic well, among others. The diagram shows the variation in the rotational transform as a function of and . The plasma size rav increases with , so that reasonably-sized plasmas are limited to the upper right triangle of this diagram.
Only part of the available range of configurations has been explored experimentally. One can cite:
- The so-called well scan experiments[1][2].
- Shot-by-shot configuration scans at constant shear[3].
- Dynamic single-shot configuration scans[4][5].
Furthermore, the impact of the magnetic configuration on enhanced confinement has been studied[6][7].
