We study the effects of end shorting and electrostatic biasing in simulations of the C-2W Field Reversed Configuration experiment using the Q2D code.

One of the key advantages of using two different spectral regions (VIS and NIR) to measure bremsstrahlung continuum is that they have different pollutant sensitivities

In an hypothetical isolated mirror (with no net current flow), an ambipolar electric potential modifies the loss cone so electrons are lost at the same rate as ions.

The purpose of the C-2W experiment is to demonstrate control, stability and heating of a Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma via magnetic controls …

The magnetic structure of FRCs cannot be measured directly by existing diagnostics. A new tool “Grushenka” finds the structure based on magnetic measurements at the vessel wall.

An advanced multi-channel combined Doppler Back-scattering (DBS)/Cross-Polarization (CPS)[1] diagnostic for the C-2W Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) will be discussed

5-channel bandpass filter polychromators (in collaboration with GA) Four spectral channels are optimized for electron temperature measurement from 10eV to 2keV.

Heating, current drive, and partial fueling from neutral beam injection are essential to sustainment of C-2W field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas.

Efficient neutral beam capture and retention requires maintenance of plasma axisymmetry to avoid stochastic diffusion losses.

Local simulation of FRC finds that the drift wave instability is stable in the core region while is unstable in the SOL region [3,4,5].
