The bias system in C-2W has a voltage limitation that is in-part due to arcing between electrodes. The Bias Test Stand (BTS) is a testbed built by TAE to study different electrode configurations and design features to reduce arcing.

In C-2U experiments, thermal ion acceleration by a beam-driven wave was observed [R. M. Magee et al. Nat. Phys. 15, 281–286 (2019)]. This thermal ion acceleration is pointed out to dramatically enhance the fusion rate because the beam energy is transferred to thermal ions, bypassing the electron channel…
