A high temperature, stable, long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma state has been produced in the C-2 device by dynamically colliding and merging two oppositely directed compact toroids, by biasing edge plasma near the FRC separatrix from a plasma-gun (PG) located at one end of the C-2 device, and by neutral-beam (NB) injection.

In the C-2 FRC plasma, low impurities densities are essential to keep the radiation losses low as well as to achieve stable high performance FRC (HPF) plasma operation.

We have studied issues related to edge physics of the HPF regime FRC [1] ” using the NIMROD extended MHD code [2].

A high-confinement operating regime [1] with plasma lifetimes significantly exceeding past empirical scaling laws was recently obtained by combining plasma gun edge biasing and tangential Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in the C-2 field-reversed configuration (FRC) experiment [2, 3].

The C-2 experiment [1] seeks to study the properties of field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas with significant super-thermal ion populations generated by neutral beam injection.
