The method of extracting inductance based on formulas has been widely used due to its simplicity and efficiency. The literature primarily
includes various formulas for inductance, which have been derived using different approximations.

A system for analyzing equilibria with fully kinetic ions is developed, aimed at understanding ion end-loss rates in field-reversed configurations. The method builds upon the constants of motion in energy-momentum phase space.

We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally directed energetic ion current and increase plasma …

The C-2W experiment at TAE Technologies demonstrates steady-state field-reversed configurations with enhanced plasma stability and ion heating driven by neutral beams, supported by advanced modeling and diagnostics to optimize performance.
October 2024 | A. Necas | APS DPP 2024 | Poster
The poster presents a self-consistent edge model of neutral beam heated high-beta plasmas, focusing on the interaction between fast ions and halo plasmas, with results showing how diffusion and charge exchange processes impact energy flow and plasma confinement.
