Identifying Density Fluctuation Modes with the FIR Interferometer System in C-2W FRCs

November 2021 | C. Deng | APS-DPP 2021 | Poster

In the TAE Technologies current experimental device, C-2W (also called “Norman”), record breaking, advanced beam-driven FRC plasmas are produced and sustained in steady state utilizing variable energy neutral beams, advanced divertors, end bias electrodes, and…

The study of high-power electron beam transport for C-2W experiments

November 2021 | A. Tkachev | APS-DPP 2021 | Poster

A high-power long pulse electron beam was created at TAE. The beam is designed to be installed in a divertor and injected axially into the C-2W FRC device [1] for additional plasma heating [2]. The beam currently operates at a test stand, and the research on beam injection through a strong magnetic field is carried out.

Simulation of Coherent Terahertz Radiation from Relativistic Laser-Solid Interactions

November 2021 | A. Necas | APS-DPP 2021 | Poster

Experiments to study the interaction between a high-intensity (>1018 W/cm2) laser and various solid targets have been performed at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) lab aimed to generate terahertz (THz) radiation.
