Abstract: Quasisymmetry is a structural property of a magnetic field which ensures that charge particles remain well confined within the guiding centre approximation of their motion. Identifying plasma equilibria enjoying this property is a key part of ongoing attempts to achieve efficient plasma fusion. I will discuss the construction of toroidal equilibria which achieve quasisymmetry and are sustained by a small forcing.
