Description

Full text: The H-1 heliac is a current-free stellarator with flexible magnetic geometry. The effect of geometry (magnetic twist, shear and well) on plasma is studied over a wide range of magnetic configurations, varied within a pulse, or from shot to shot under computer control. Ion-cyclotron range RF excitation produces plasma in H:He and H:D mixtures at densities up to ne - 21018m3, T<50eV, showing a stronger configuration dependence than electron-cyclotron produced plasmas which are considerably hotter and centrally-peaked. RF plasmas exhibit magnetic fluctuation spectra which also depend in detail on magnetic configuration. The relationship to magnetic geometry is discussed.
