  • Abstract
    In order to achieve a nominal plasma aspect ratio of 1.4 in MAST and maximise the flux swing, the electrical and mechanical stresses in the central Ohmic heating solenoid have to be close to the safe working limits. Consequently, a detailed analysis to find the optimum solenoid has been crucial during the design stages of the machine
