In the TAE C-2W experiment, confinement and stability of Field Reversed Configurations (FRC) relies on the presence of energetic ions from neutral beam injection and their relatively large Larmor radius.

Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs) are characterized by particular electric and magnetic field geometries that are due to the presence of unique particle orbit types as so-called Betatron, Drift, Fig8 and Type 1 orbits.

Experiments to study the interaction between a high-intensity (>1018 W/cm2) laser and various solid targets have been performed at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) lab aimed to generate terahertz (THz) radiation.
