Accelerator Technology Development at TAE Technologies
November 2016 | Artem Smirnov | CAARI | Presentation
Neutral beam-driven field reversed configuration offers reactor advantages.
Absence of Ion-scale Core Turbulence and Transport Barrier Formation with Passive/Active Divertor Biasing in the C-2/C-2U Field Reversed Configuration
October 2016 | Michel Tuszewski | APS-DPP | Poster
Experimentally measured inverted core density fluctuations spectra show the absence of ion-scale modes in the FRC core, in agreement with linear, local gyrokinetic simulations.
Overview of the TAE Technologies Plasma Diagnostics Program
October 2016 | Matt Thompson | APS-DPP | Poster
TAE Technologies (TAE) seeks to study the evolution of advanced beam-driven field reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas sustained and heated by neutral beam (NB) injection.
C-2U Field Reversed Configuration Experiment
October 2016 | Artem Smirnov and Richard Magee | APS-DPP | Presentation
Provide fast learning cycles and large experimental dataset. Demonstrate sustainment via Neutral Beam Injection for > 5ms with high repeatability.
Simulation Overview of High-Performance Beam-Driven Field Reversed Configurations
October 2016 | S. Dettrick | APS-DPP | Poster
Simulation of High Performance Beam Driven FRC shows that hot FRC is formed by thermalization of fast colliding FRCs.
