Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the fusion research with the stellarator devices, a new concept of the three-dimensional magnetic configuration was developed for the improved confinement based on the mathematical analysis of the Fourier modes of the boundary shape of plasmas. It was found that the basic characteristics of the magnetic configurations are determined by the fundamental low-mode Fourier elements. By arranging a new combination of the Fourier elements, a new magnetic configuration was invented which has a good confinement properties for the high-beta equilibria. For such a new configuration, the magnetic coil was designed for realizing the fusion reactor with simple helical coil windings which is beneficial for reducing the construction costs.
