The electron temperature is a vital parameter in understanding the dynamics of fusion
plasmas, helping to determine basic properties of the system, stability, and fast ion lifetime.
October 2022 | J. Ogasawara (Nihon) | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
To directly detect the spatial distribution of a plasma current during the collisional merging of two FRCs in the FAT-CM device, an internal current probe using Rogowski coils has been developed.
August 2022 | J. Titus | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W, record-breaking, advanced beam-driven FRC plasmas are produced and sustained in steady state utilizing
