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
