FRC as a Two-Fluid Flowing Relaxed State
November 2020 | B. Nicks | APS-DPP | Poster
Can FRCs (field-reversed configurations) be shown to be a preferred state of plasma under certain conditions?
Interferometry technique to measure 2D FRC equilibria on TAE’s Norman device
November 2020 | R. Smith | APS-DPP | Poster
The mid-plane multi-chord FIR interferometer system on the Norman device is used in conjunction with the equilibrium (EQ) field coils and trim coil set to move the plasma axially
