A New Dispersion Interferometer for the Stellarator Wendelstein 7-X

The construction of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

The construction status of the large superconducting stellarator Wendelstein 7-X is reported. The manufacturing and tests of the main components are reviewed and major design tasks during the device assembly phase are summarized. The assembly is currently proceeding on three out of five assembly stands. Four out of ten magnet half-modules are completed. Major work packages are the electric and ...

A breakdown of topics is presented for the knowledge area along with a succinct description of each topic. References are given to materials that provide more in-depth coverage of the key areas of software configuration ma...

Bayesian experimental design of a multichannel interferometer for Wendelstein 7-X.

Bayesian experimental design (BED) is a framework for the optimization of diagnostics basing on probability theory. In this work it is applied to the design of a multichannel interferometer at the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator experiment. BED offers the possibility to compare diverse designs quantitatively, which will be shown for beam-line designs resulting from different plasma configurations. ...
