Impurity-ion rotation dynamics in C-2W
November 2020 | M. Nations | APS-DPP | Poster
Edge biasing of annular electrodes in the divertor region is routinely utilized as a boundary control technique to stabilize the FRC in the confinement vessel.
Beam-driven ion-cyclotron modes in the scrape-off layer of a field-reversed configuration
November 2020 | B.S. Nicks | Nuclear Fusion | Paper
In the scrape-off-layer (SOL) of a field-reversed configuration, neutral beam injection can drive
modes in the vicinity of the ion-cyclotron frequency
Anatomy of a field-reversed configuration
November 2020 | L. Steinhauer | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
A reconstructor tool is developed for fast computation of fully two-dimensional equilibria of FRCs that are consistent with routine magnetic data from experiments.
