Abstract

Studies are made of α-particle trajectories in a reactor-scale magnetic system with a three-turn (l=3) helical current winding and an auxiliary current winding generating a vertical magnetic field. It is shown that the deflections of negative and positive free particles relative to the vacuum magnetic surfaces can be reduced by suitably selecting the magnitude and direction of the vertical magnetic field. It is also shown that the deflections of trapped α-particles are reduced under the same conditions. It is particularly important to note that this result was obtained for a system with low aspect ratio.
