Opto-Mechanical Design of FIR Diagnostic System for C-2W
October 2016 | M. Beall | APS-DPP | Poster
Upgraded interferometer/polarimeter on center plane of machine to provide high resolution density and magnetic field information.
A Pre-ionization System to Limit Neutral Gas in a Compact Toroid Injector
October 2016 | I. Allfrey | APS-DPP | Poster
Fusion plasmas require long lifetimes and high temperatures, both of which are limited by particle loss, among other factors.
Spectroscopic Observations of Scrape-Off Layer Electron Temperature and Density
October 2016 | Dima Osin | APS-DPP | Poster
C-2U is a macroscopically stable, high-performance field-reversed configuration (HPF), where high plasma temperatures with significant fast-ion population and record lifetimes were achieved.
First Fast-Ion D-Alpha (FIDA) Measurements and Simulations on C-2U
October 2016 | Nathan Bolte | APS-DPP | Poster
In the TAE Technologies C-2U experiment, advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas were sustained via tangential neutral beam injection.
Observation of Super-thermal Plasma & Beam Energization in a Beam Driven FRC
October 2016 | R. Clary | APS-DPP | Poster
C-2U is an advanced beam-driven FRC experiment. Dynamics of fast particles (hydrogen) are critical to plasma (deuterium) performance.
