Abstract

An approach for the direct computation of collisionless losses of high energy charged particles is developed for stellarator magnetic fields given in real space coordinates. With this approach, the corresponding computations can be performed for magnetic fields with three-dimensional inhomogeneities in the presence of stochastic regions as well as magnetic islands. A code, which is based on this approach, is applied to various stellarator configurations. It is found that the life time of fast particles obtained in real-space coordinates can be smaller than that obtained in magnetic coordinates.
