The goal of TAE’s experiments is to sustain through the of use of neutral beam heating and edge biasing an advanced beam-driven FRC for many milliseconds, i.e., well beyond the growth times of common instabilities.

In the TAE Technologies C-2U experiment, advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas were sustained via tangential neutral beam injection.

C-2U is an advanced beam-driven FRC experiment. Dynamics of fast particles (hydrogen) are critical to plasma (deuterium) performance.

Complete radial profiles of plasma parameters are essential in understanding plasma dynamics.

Experimentally measured inverted core density fluctuations spectra show the absence of ion-scale modes in the FRC core, in agreement with linear, local gyrokinetic simulations.

The rotating magnetic field-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC), such as Rotamak or PFRC experiment, was recently proposed as a test bench at TAE Technologies to experimentally pioneer the study of microwave electron heating.
