	Stellarator
		In a stellarator, the screw-like twisting of field lines around the torus centre is generated by external coils.
		In contrast to the Tokamak, a stellarator does not need a direct-axis flow component in the plasma.
		In a stellarator, the magnetic field cage is formed by a single coil system.

	Scientific Visualization of 3-dimensional Optimized Stellarator Configurations
		A particularly convenient choice for stellarators (as shown in Figure 1) are the magnetic or Boozer coordinates [2] which allow the particle trajectory equations to be expressed in an accurate Hamiltonian form which depends only on the magnitude of the magnetic field and its derivatives.
		In Figure 2 we display an outer magnetic flux surface of a low aspect ratio stellarator with color contours proportional to the strength of the magnetic field (light purple is low field, light blue-green is high field) and the trajectory of a magnetic field line is shown in white.
		Stellarator transport optimizations focus directly on the dependence of the magnetic field strength on the two angular coordinates which span each flux surface.

		Stellarators, on the other hand, are intrinsically steady-state devices, but their confinement properties are worse and the highest plasma pressure in the best stellarators is significantly lower (the corresponding beta is about or less than 5%).
		The SS concept was the first one in a stellarator family that considered substantial positive effects of the bootstrap current and, moreover, its significant advantages and benefits for compact stellarators.
		Compact stellarator configurations with the plasma current and with the type of symmetry close to toroidal symmetry in magnetic coordinates were found in SS research.

		The stellarator concept, proposed as early as 1951 by Lyman Spitzer of Princeton University, was initially researched in experiments in the 1950s and 1960s in the USA and Europe.
		The difference is that stellarators rely entirely on magnetic fields produced by external coils to produce their magnetic confinement, eliminating the need for a toroidal plasma current but requiring a more complex shape for the coils than in tokamaks.
		A stellarator is much more complex than a tokamak to design and build – only in relatively recent times have the theoretical understanding, computing power and fabrication techniques been developed to the level needed to construct large stellarators with a performance comparable to tokamaks.

	Stellarator Optimization
		Stellarators are magnetically confined fusion devices with confinement properties similar to those of tokamaks.
		Unlike tokamaks, stellarators primarily use currents in external coils, rather than in the plasma itself, to confine and stabilize the plasma.
		Large stellarator experiments are under way in Europe and Japan, and a smaller experiment is under construction at the University of Wisconsin.

	Physics Today June 2002
		But unlike tokamaks, in which the field varies in only two dimensions, in stellarators the field is fully three-dimensional, with the advantage of sustainability (the plasma doesn't suddenly collapse, or disrupt) and the disadvantage of poor plasma confinement (the plasma loses particles and energy).
		The lack of symmetry [in traditional stellarators] means that the orbits of the particles in the magnetic field are not necessarily bounded.
		Stellarator research continued elsewhere, however--notably in Japan, where a record-size stellarator has come close to matching tokamak results, and Germany, where the numerical computations used to design HSX and NCSX were developed.

		Research is being carried out on several types of stellarator differing mainly in the periodicity of the toroidal and poloidal components of their magnetic field.
		In the W7-AS stellarator (Garching, Germany), plasma is created and is heated by electromagnetic waves at the cyclotronic plasma frequency.
		The stellarator's intrinsic advantage is that it has no toroidal current (no transformer, no disruption) and can thus be operated continuously.

	Biography for
		Stellarators are a class of magnetic fusion confinement devices characterized by three dimensional magnetic fields and plasma shapes and are the best-developed class of magnetic fusion devices after the tokamak.
		The stellarator concept has greatly advanced since its invention by Dr. Lyman Spitzer, the founding director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), during the 1950’s.
		The National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) is the first of a new class of stellarators known as “compact stellarators.” The differentiating feature of a compact stellarator is the use of plasma current in combination with external fields to accomplish shaping and confinement.

	Session 8P - Stellerator/Theory and Experiment.
		The HSX stellarator has a set of auxiliary coils that makes it possible to modify the standard quasihelical configuration in which the neoclassical transport is equivalent to a tokamak.
		Omnigenous stellarators, those with bounce averaged drifts lying within the magnetic surfaces, form a much larger class than quasihelical stellarators (i.e., with magnetic field strength depending on only a single linear combination of the toroidal flux angles) while nevertheless having very good transport properties.
		An innovative stellarator configuration MHH2, which is nearly quasi-axisymmetric (in Boozer coordinates) and thus should possess good plasma transport properties, has been developed by P. Garabedian.\footnote Submitted to Physics of Plasmas Such a device would have a low aspect ratio and a relatively simple set of modular coils.

		The stellarator presents minimal occupational hazards and hazards to the public.
		The qualification effort is intended to preserve the viability of continuing the experiment after an earthquake, and to explore the sensitivity of the design to dynamic loading from sources other than normal operation.

	13th INTERNATIONAL STELLARATOR WORKSHOP
		The 13th International Stellarator Workshop was held at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, from February 25 through March 1, 2002.
		However, ballooning instabilities in 3-D stellarator geometries are quite complex, and require considerable further study in both theory and experiment.
		The development of a compelling reactor vision based on the stellarator is an important task, especially in the context of renewed activity on the ITER tokamak project.

	Stellarator Physics
		Excellent progress on key physics issues arising in the design of a compact stellarator experiment has continued to be made in the past year with numerous papers published.
		Substantial advances have been made during the past years in understanding the 3-D stabilization of external kink modes and in the application of that understanding to improved stellarator designs.
		Comparison of Monte Carlo bootstrap calculations with analytic bootstrap expressions has led to an understanding of resonances that appear in the standard analytic expressions, and to an improved treatment that has been incorporated into the bootstrap code imported from NIFS (Japan).

		The discovery of quasiaxially symmetric stellarators whose magnetic spectrum has approximate two-dimensional symmetry opens up the possibility of designing fusion reactors that have tokamak transport and stellarator stability.
		Prototypes with two or three field periods have asymmetries almost as small as the coefficients for a typical tokamak that are associated with ripple from the toroidal coils or helical excursion of the magnetic axis resulting from instability.
		This work is bolstered by recent stellarator experiments that have exceeded stability limits predicted by linear theory.
