The standard argument to explain this accumulation relies on the, in principle, large inward pinch in the neoclassical impurity flux caused by the typically negative radial electric field in stellarators. This simplified interpretation was proven to be flawed by Helander et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 155002 (2017)], who showed that in a relevant regime (low-collisionality main ions and collisional impurities) the radial electric field does not drive impurity transport.
