A neutral particle bolometer (NPB) has been designed and implemented on the TAE Technologies C-2 device in order to spatially and temporally resolve the charge-exchange losses of fast-ion populations originating from neutral beam injection into field reversed configuration plasmas.

Improvements of the 9-point Thomson scattering diagnostic system for C2 field reversed configuration plasmas and measured electron temperature profiles consistent with theoretical expectations are presented.

A reversed-field structure of the translated CTs and final merged FRC state have been directly verified by probing the internal magnetic field structure using a multi-channel magnetic probe array near the midplane of the C-2 confinement chamber.

In C-2 FRC device, low neutral density outside the FRC separatrix is required to minimize the loss of fast particles.
