Design of Thomson Scattering System on C-2W
October 2016 | Kan Zhai | APS-DPP | Poster
C-2W is an upgraded experiment from C-2U and is now under construction at TAE for parameters ramping up with higher plasma temperature and longer plasma time.
Spectroscopic Study of Impurity Ion Radial Distribution in C-2 Beam-Driven Field-Reversed Configuration
October 2016 | Dima Osin | APS-DPP | Poster

C-2U Experimental Transport Analysis
October 2016 | Erik Trask | APS-DPP | Poster
Upgrades of the experimental facility at TAE Technologies have led to record Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) performance on the C-2U device.
Global simulation of field-reversed configuration using fully kinetic ion and drift kinetic electron
October 2016 | Calvin K Lau | APS-DPP | Poster
Advanced beam-driven FRCs at TAE have lifetimes of milliseconds (transport-limited regimes). Local GTC simulations of realistic C-2 equilibrium find…
Observation and Suppression of a New Fast Ion Driven Micro-Burst Instability in a Field-Reversed Configuration Plasma
October 2016 | B.H. Deng | APS-DPP | Poster
The C-2U experiment offers a unique plasma environment combining a high beta field reversed configuration (FRC) embedded in a low beta magnetic mirror with high power neutral beam injection.
FRC equilibrium reconstruction by Bayesian evaluation of Monte Carlo transport simulations
October 2016 | Niko Rath | APS-DPP | Poster
Many Q2D simulations are chopped into even more independent snapshots, forming a “pool” of “states”.
