Plasma equilibrium profiles and fluctuations in the C-2 field reversed configuration (FRC) experiment [M. W. Binderbauer et al, Phys.Rev.Lett. 105, 045003 (2010)] are measured under various operation conditions.

Although high rotation velocity in a FRC may lead to rotational instabilities, it is also believed that shear flow helps in improving FRC stability and transport.

One of the goals of the C-2 experiment [1,2] is to explore FRC sustainment and current drive from neutral beam injection. Studies of the relaxation and confinement of hot anisotropic ions created by the neutral beams are considered to be key elements of the experimental research program.

Edge biasing has long been used in various fusion devices to actively control the plasma potential profile in order to suppress radial transport by decorrelating density and potential fluctuations through flow shear.

In any magnetic plasma confinement device, it is advantageous to limit hot-ion loss through charge-exchange with cold neutral gas by minimizing the gas density near the plasma.
