C-2W field-reversed configuration (FRC) experiments [1] are focused to resolve major physics issues facing the future of FRC devices. To achieve these goals, it is essential to measure the plasma equilibrium dynamics and monitor plasma fluctuations.

A new Thomson scattering (TS) system is being constructed on C-2W for obtaining electron temperature and density profiles with high temporal and spatial resolution. Validating the performance of the TS’s custom designed system components is crucial to obtaining reliable Te and ne profiles of C-2W’s plasma.

A custom motor controlled probe system has been designed to make spatially resolved measurements of temperature, density, flow, and plasma potential in the C-2W inner divertors. Measurements in the inner divertors, which have a radius of 1.7 m and are located on either end of the confinement vessel, are critical in order to gauge exactly how local settings affect the plasma conditions, confinement, and stability in the FRC core.
In April 1998, a group of determined scientists, inventors and visionaries founded the company now known as TAE Technologies with $1000 and one goal in mind: Creating a source of safe, carbon-free, on-demand energy that doesn’t harm the environment and is available to everyone equally around the world.
As it pursues energy’s Holy Grail, TAE Technologies seeks to market decades of R&D.
A private venture pursuing fusion power technology has stumbled on a potent way to kill cancer cells while methodically marching toward the Holy Grail of energy production.
Technology developed to try to crack the code of nuclear fusion — that elusive type of nuclear energy that powers the sun — is now being repurposed to kill cancer.
TAE Technologies has spawned a spinoff focusing on a novel type of cancer therapy. TAE Life Sciences will take advantage of the company’s accelerator-based beam technology.
TAE Life Sciences leverages fusion energy breakthroughs to provide technology for a promising, investigative cancer treatment.

Active control of field reversed configuration (FRC) devices requires a method to determine the flux surface geometry and dynamic properties of the plasma during both transient and steady-state conditions.
