A “roadmap” on the challenge of component damage caused by plasma due to decoupled electrons in tokamaks
The journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (PPCF) now publishes “Roadmap” articles, which aim to review the state of the art and define priority areas for research in certain fields. One such article has just been published on the consequences of…

CIRCE: a toolkit for the preliminary design of magnetic systems for tokamaks and stellarators
Magnetic confinement fusion uses superconducting magnets to develop intense magnetic fields in which the particles that fuse are trapped. Performance is closely linked to the strength of the magnetic field. Doubling the magnetic field at the center of the plasma would,…
