Définitions

anglais

Toroidal configuration in which the drift currents due to the degeneracy of the toroidal field lines, are eliminated not by a rotational transform, but by making all the field lines of equal length. This is achieved by adding external windings, which ""corrugate"" the confining magnetic field at every point in space perpendicular to the currents flowing in the plasma.
