SUMMARY:"Stellarator optimization through coil shaping"\, Plasma Physi
 cs (Physics/ECE/NE 922) Seminar\, Hiroyuki Yamaguchi\, National Instit
 ute for Fusion Studies
DESCRIPTION:Stellarators/heliotrons are plasma devices that can confin
 e plasma in a toroidal shape primarily by a magnetic field produced by
  external magnets. In the field of magnetic confinement fusion researc
 h\, one of the challenges is the optimization of stellarators/heliotro
 ns. In this seminar\, stellarator/heliotron optimization techniques de
 veloped at National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS\, Japan) and th
 eir recent application will be explained. Optimization applying a free
 -form curve and the genetic algorithm will be highlighted as a very un
 ique aspect of this technique. Interestingly\, it has been found that 
 the numerically-optimized magnetic configurations that are usually gen
 erated by crowded modular coils can be reproduced well even by a small
  number of helical coils.
