ICRF heating in LHD clearly accelerates fast ions and enhances p-¹¹B fusion yield. In the FRC device C-2W, fast-ion acceleration is also observed together with beam-driven modes. The n = 2 mode can accelerate NB-injected ions to nearly twice their initial energy…

Talk Overview:
▪ C-2W now can form plasmas with Neutral Beam Injection (NBI)
▪ Electron density profiles measured by FIR interferometry
▪ Profile shape parameterization
▪ Overall similar, but larger

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 …
