Collisional Merging of a Field-Reversed Configuration in the FAT-CM Device

Collisional Merging of a Field-Reversed Configuration in the FAT-CM Device

Collisional merging formation of field-reversed configurations (FRCs) at super Alfvénic velocity have been successfully initiated in the FAT-CM device at Nihon University. It is experimentally evidenced that the quiescent FRC profile is formed in a self-organizational manner after distructive disturbances by the super Alfvénic collision of two translated magnetized plasmoids.
