October 2024 | H. Gota | Nuclear Fusion | Paper
TAE Technologies’ fifth-generation fusion device, C-2W (also called ‘Norman’), is the world’s largest compact-toroid device and has made significant progress in field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma performance.
October 2024 | M. Nations | APS DPP 2024 | Poster
Experiments on C-2W demonstrate enhanced ion heating through beam-driven waves, where fast-ion energy is directly transferred to thermal ions via wave-particle interactions, resulting in sustained high ion temperatures and improved plasma performance.
October 2024 | S. Dettrick | APS DPP 2024 | Poster
TAE Technologies reports advancements in plasma performance and stability for C-2W through optimized neutral beam injection, new diagnostic tools, and enhanced modeling frameworks, demonstrating improved ion heating, extended plasma lifetimes, and effective wall conditioning.
