Helicon and High Harmonic Fast Waves (HHFW) in FRCs
October 2023 | F. Ceccherini | IAEA-FEC 2023 | Poster
Plasma heating through fast waves, from ion cyclotron and high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) resonances up to helicon regime, represents a key topic in the development of a nuclear fusion device.
Enhanced Plasma Performance in C-2W Advanced Beam-Driven Field-Reversed Configuration Experiments
October 2023 | H. Gota | IAEA-FEC 2023 | Poster
The NB power-supply system has recently been upgraded to extend the pulse length from 30 ms to 40 ms, which allows for a longer plasma lifetime thus better characterization and further enhancement of FRC performance.
