Abstract

Using an analytic solution of the kinetic equation in the 1/ν regime, a new formula for the neoclassical transport coefficients is obtained which takes into account all classes of trapped particles. This formula holds in any coordinate system and no simplifying assumptions about the magnetic field are needed. Therefore it is also applicable to complex magnetic fields given in real space coordinates. The method and the results can be used to optimize magnetic field configurations with respect to the 1/ν regime. The method is bench-marked against Monte Carlo calculation both for the l=3 classical stellarator model and also for the original Helias configuration J. Nührenberg and R. Zille, Phys. Lett. A 114, 129 (1986) with a more complex magnetic field structure. Some features of transport for Helias are clarified by analyzing the bounce-averaged drift velocity.
