Fusion Enhancement from Bunched Ion Beams
October 2018 | B. Scott Nicks | APS-DPP | Poster
Beam-driven ion-Bernstein mode seen theoretically, exhibits wakefield character that creates similar large fast ion tail and fusion enhancement
Simulation of FRC Equilibrium and Global Stability
October 2018 | S. Dettrick | APS-DPP | Poster
Flexible control systems for all three of these actuators are available on the C-2W experiment, so we study their effects on FRC Equilibrium and Global Stability
Results of mid-plane and Jet region interferometry on the C-2W FRC experiment
October 2018 | R. Smith | APS-DPP | Poster
TAE Technology’s C-2W experiment has been operational for over 18 months and has produced long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas.
Application of Bayesian inference for reconstruction of FRC plasma state in C-2W
October 2018 | P.C. Norgaard | APS-DPP | Poster
Bayesian methods are used to infer Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma properties for the C-2W machine at TAE Technologies.
Summary of C-2W Field-Reversed Configuration Experiment Diagnostic Systems and Results
October 2018 | M. C. Thompson| APS-DPP | Poster
TAE Technologies, Inc. studies the evolution of advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas sustained by neutral-beam injection.
Simulations of edge biasing and rotation in the C-2W FRC experiment using the Q2D code
October 2018 | M. Onofri | APS-DPP | Poster
We study the effects of end shorting and electrostatic biasing in simulations of the C-2W Field Reversed Configuration experiment using the Q2D code.
Zeff Measurements Using Visible and Near-infrared Bremsstrahlung Radiation in C-2W
October 2018 | M. Nations | APS-DPP | Poster
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
Measurements of the Energy Distribution of Ions Lost to the End Divertors of C-2W
October 2018 | M. E. Griswold | APS-DPP | Poster
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.
Correlations between Impurity Ion Tangential Velocities and Electron Density Rotational Modes in the C-2W Experiment
October 2018 | M. Beall | APS-DPP | Poster
The purpose of the C-2W experiment is to demonstrate control, stability and heating of a Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma via magnetic controls …
Reconstructing FRC equilibria from experimental data
October 2018 | L. Steinhauer | APS-DPP | Poster
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.
