Helical Confinement

Helical Confinement is a magnetic confinement configuration in fusion plasmas wherein the confining magnetic field exhibits a helical symmetry, distinguishing it from axisymmetric tokamak and purely toroidal stellarator fields by combining rotational and translational symmetries in a twisted geometry to enhance plasma stability and particle confinement.
