1. Introduction
Next Step Fusion is a tech company aimed at providing industrial solutions for plasma simulations, digital twins, and power plant control, including advanced control algorithms and machine learning-based solutions.
The objective of the Next Step Fusion is to design an optimized small-to-medium-sized machine featuring high magnetic field. This device is planned to have sophisticated control capabilities that will provide valuable data on high-performance plasma control, power exhaust optimization, and the discovery of new regimes.
Negative triangularity (NT) has shown the ability to achieve high-ꞵ regimes with high current, density, and energy confinement and sets challenges for plasma control. Therefore, NT was selected as the target shape for the Next Step Fusion device, the Negative Triangularity Tokamak (NTT).
