Charge separation and transport of the n=2 instability in C-2 FRC plasmas
November 2012 | B. Deng | APS-DPP | Poster
Bolometer data show that the plasma spin is in the ion diamagnetic direction, while the plasma column wobbles in the electron diamagnetic direction.
Upgrades to TAE Technologies C-2 Neutron Detector System
November 2012 | E. Garate | APS-DPP | Poster
We are implementing additional scintillator based neutron detectors on the TAE Technologies C-2 system.
High Performance Field-Reversed Configurations in the C-2 Device
November 2012 | H. Gota | APS-DPP | Poster
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.
Impurity behavior in high performance FRC plasmas in the C-2 device
November 2012 | D. Gupta | APS-DPP | Poster
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.
FRC edge physics using NIMROD
November 2012 | A. Necas | APS-DPP | Poster
We have studied issues related to edge physics of the HPF regime FRC [1] ” using the NIMROD extended MHD code [2].
