| contents | The new class of compact quasi-axisymmetric stellarators with a wide range of field periods offers the unique potential to combine the advantages of the two leading magnetic confinement fusion devices, tokamaks and stellarators. Here we present the first numerical optimization of this class which has so far only been obtained analytically. Our approach finds significantly improved quasi-axisymmetric equilibria at aspect ratio $< 2.5$, resulting in no losses of alpha particles at reactor volume while also satisfying improved magnetohydrodynamic stability and a self-consistent plasma current. |
