Upgrade of C-2/C-2U Thomson scattering system for electron density profile measurement
June 2016 | Kan Zhai | HTPD | Poster
Comparison of electron density profile measure from TS and CO2 interferometer. C-2U achieved FRC plasma sustainment of 5+ms.
Characterization of Compact-Toroid Injection during Formation, Translation, and Field Penetration
June 2016 | Matsumoto, T. | HTPD | Poster
We have developed a compact toroid (CT) injector system for particle refueling of the advanced beam-driven C-2U field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma.
Improved density profile measurements in the C-2U advanced beam-driven FRC plasmas
June 2016 | Michael Beall | HTPD | Poster
In the prior C-2 experiment, electron density was measured using a two-color 6-Chord CO2/HeNe interferometer.
First Fast-Ion D-Alpha (FIDA) Measurements and Simulations on C-2U
June 2016 | Nathan Bolte | HTPD | Poster
The first measurements of fast-ion D-alpha (FIDA) radiation have been acquired on C-2U, the TAE Technologies advanced, beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC).
A Mass Resolved, High Resolution Neutral Particle Analyzer for C-2U
June 2016 | R. Clary | HTPD | Poster
C-2U is a high-confinement, advanced beam driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma which sustains the configuration for > 5 ms, in excess of typical MHD and fast particle instability times, as well as fast particle slowing down times.
