Abstract
In this work, we propose a method for optimising stellarator devices to favour the presence of an electron root solution of the radial electric field. Such a solution can help avoid heavy impurity accumulation, improve neoclassical thermal ion confinement and helium ash exhaust, and possibly reduce turbulence. This study shows that an optimisation for such a root is possible in quasi-isodynamic stellarators. Examples are shown for both vacuum and finite plasma pressure configurations.
