Gauge response model free parameters: wall pumping rate, gauge delay time, gauge smoothing time
Statistical analysis of refraction-induced power loss for the C-2W Far-Infrared Interferometer
November 2023 | E. Parke | APS DPP 2023 | Poster
On C-2W (also called “Norman”) record-breaking, advanced beam-driven field reversed-configuration (FRC) plasmas are produced and sustained in steady stat
Reconstructions of Global Plasma Oscillations in C-2W via 300-Channel AXUV Photodiode Camera System
November 2023 | A. Bondarenko | APS DPP 2023 | Poster
In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W (also called “Norman”),1 record breaking, advanced beam-driven FRC plasmas are produced and sustained in steady state …
Overview of TAE Technologies’ Fusion Program Towards Aneutronic Fusion
October 2023 | H. Gota | CWFEST 2023 | Presentation
TAE Technologies is a private company with mission to deliver clean and economically viable fusion power and fusion-derived technologies to solve existential human challenges.
Optimization and feedback control of the C-2W configuration
October 2023 | J.A. Romero | IAEA-FEC 2023 | Presentation
C-2W holds a high beta FRC plasma in an easily accessible linear device. Plasma is elongated to improve performance, resulting in axial instability. Feedback control stabilizes and sustains the long plasma in steady state.
Enhanced Plasma Performance in C-2W Advanced Beam-Driven Field-Reversed Configuration Experiments
October 2023 | H. Gota | IAEA-FEC 2023 | Poster
The NB power-supply system has recently been upgraded to extend the pulse length from 30 ms to 40 ms, which allows for a longer plasma lifetime thus better characterization and further enhancement of FRC performance.
