In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W (also called “Norman’’)[1,2], voltages applied to
concentric annular electrodes located in divertors are used to stabilize beam-driven field reversed
configuration (FRC) plasmas.

A high-power long pulse electron beam was created at TAE. The beam is designed to be installed in a divertor and injected axially into the C-2W FRC device [1] for additional plasma heating [2]. The beam currently operates at a test stand, and the research on beam injection through a strong magnetic field is carried out.
