UMD physicist improves method for designing fusion experiments

University of Maryland physicist Matt Landreman has made an important revision to a software tool used to design fusion experiments known as stellarators. The new method results in designs that create a magnetic field suitable for confining blazing-hot plasma, while allowing better access for repairs and more places to install sensors. Landreman’s new method is described in a paper published Feb. 13, 2017 in the journal Nuclear Fusion.
