Abstract

The collisionless stochastic diffusion of energetic ions in optimized stellarators of the Wendelstein type has been considered. The phenomenon concerned was predicted earlier in the framework of a simplified theory describing the separatrix crossing by ions. The jumps of the adiabatic invariant in magnetic configurations of a stellarator are calculated. The analysis of the results obtained confirms the importance of the stochastic diffusion and demonstrates that the diffusion coefficient can considerably exceed the available result.
