Develop 2-D Interpretative equilibrium solver SEquOIA (Synthetic Equilibrium from Observables Interpretative Algorithm) for long lived steady state C-2W plasma
June 2022 | J. Romero | TOFE | Presentation
C-2W is the world’s first steady-state FRC with fusion relevant parameters, C-2W machine and diagnostics are upgraded often in response to the research needs.

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.
