Perturbation fields in W VII-AS and Helias configurations

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Plasmaphysik, Garching-Muenchen (Germany, F.R.)

Description

Effects of pertubed topologies of the W VII-AS vacuum fields on the configuration with rational and irrational rotational transform are illustrated. Even small perturbation fields are unacceptable at rational values of the rotational transform. For example at a rotational transform = 1/2 in W VII-AS, when exceeding an effective homogeneous Bx/B = 3 x 10-4, the size of the rotational transform = 1/2 = 5/10 islands is doubled. At irrational values a Bx/B = 1/2% shows tolerable effects, for both W VII-AS and HS4-12. At rational values of the rotational transform = 1 near the edge, Bx/B values = 1/4 to 1/8% show a rather large increase of the aspect ratio, so an edge value of rotational transform = 1 should be avoided
