  4. Milestones for FY-12 (2) Stellarator Team Meeting / 18 January 2012 / H. Neilson W7-X Trim Coil Power Supplies • PPPL work plan (WAF) review- Oct. 2011. ✓ • Conceptual Design Review. 5 January. ✓ • Choose technology (switching vs. rectifier bridge). 15 Feb. • Preliminary Design Review, Final Design Review, Procurement / Fabrication • Schedule to be updated after concept selection. • Complete deliveries to IPP site.- 1 April 2014. W7-X Physics Program: Research Preparations • Define physics program and facilitate information transfer with W7-X (Gates) • Arrange transfer of divertor and magnetic diagnostics info to PPPL (Gates, Lazerson) • Benchmark HINT2-PIES against agreed upon W7-X equilibrium (Lazerson, Reiman) • Modify PIES to allow non-stellarator symmetry (Lazerson, Reiman)
