Stellarator Dynamics and Transport

Dynamical phenomena in plasmas have a fundamental spatio-temporal character, which requires sophisticated, often even imaging plasma diagnostic instruments. The division develops and operates these instruments at the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator and performs the interpretation of the measured data using model-based and statistical analysis methods. Closely related are essential elements of plasma transport for the particles in the plasma and the plasma energy, which directly determines the target parameters.
