The world’s largest compact-toroid device, C-2, has been upgraded to C-2U at TAE Technologies to achieve sustainment of field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas by neutral-beam (NB) injection (NBI) and edge biasing, and the C-2U experiment is characterized by the following key system upgrades.

The experimental program at TAE Technologies has demonstrated reliable field-reversed configuration (FRC) formation and sustainment, driven by fast ions via high-power neutral-beam (NB) injection.

Knowledge and control of the axial outflow of plasma particles and energy along open field lines are of crucial importance to the stability and longevity of advanced beam-driven FRC plasma.

We show that in a field-reversed-configuration, the plasma is unstable to either transverse or axial rigid displacement, but never to both.
