Flow profile measurement with a Mach probe in the open-field line region of C-2W
November 2020 | T. Matsumoto | APS-DPP | Poster
In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W(also called“Norman”), record-breaking, advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration
FRC Fast Ion Distribution: Effect on Equilibria
November 2020 | L. Galeotti | APS-DPP | Poster
Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) plays a critical role in TAE’s C-2W FRC device providing plasma stability, heating and current drive. C-2W produces steady-state FRCs that are stable and contain significant current and pressure from fast ions.
Fast ion D(a) diagnostic (FIDA) on C-2W
November 2020 | L. Morton | APS-DPP | Poster
Fast ions diagnostics are important for C-2W. Data from mCHERS demonstrates feasibility of FIDA measurement…
