TAE’s C-2W FRC shows key differences in fluctuation properties between hydrogen and deuterium plasmas, with increased magnetic fluctuations in FRC and low ion-scale fluctuations in the core. These findings, consistent with simulations, inform the design of diagnostics for the upcoming Copernicus device.
