Turbulence Spreading and Transport Properties in the Core and Boundary of the C-2W Field-Reversed Configuration

November 2021 | L. Schmitz | APS-DPP 2021 | Poster

We investigate here the interaction of the mirror plasma scrape-off layer, characterized by drift-interchange turbulence with an exponential toroidal wavenumber spectrum, and the much more quiescent FRC core, characterized by very low ion-scale turbulence levels, and a flat or inverted toroidal wavenumber spectrum.

Automated Phase Counting Corrections for the C-2W FarInfrared Interferometer

November 2021 | E. Parke | APS-DPP 2021 | Poster

In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W (also called “Norman”), record breaking, advanced beam-driven FRC plasmas are produced and sustained in steady state utilizing variable energy neutral beams, advanced divertors, end bias electrodes, and…
