Enhanced plasma performance in C-2W advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration experiments

October 2024 | H. Gota | Nuclear Fusion | Paper

TAE Technologies’ fifth-generation fusion device, C-2W (also called ‘Norman’), is the world’s largest compact-toroid device and has made significant progress in field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma performance.

Steady State FRCs with high fast ion component in the C-2W experiment

October 2024 | S. Dettrick | APS DPP 2024 | Presentation

The C-2W experiment at TAE Technologies demonstrates steady-state field-reversed configurations with enhanced plasma stability and ion heating driven by neutral beams, supported by advanced modeling and diagnostics to optimize performance.

Enhanced Ion Heating Regimes in a Beam-Driven Field-Reversed Configuration

October 2024 | M. Nations | APS DPP 2024 | Poster

Experiments on C-2W demonstrate enhanced ion heating through beam-driven waves, where fast-ion energy is directly transferred to thermal ions via wave-particle interactions, resulting in sustained high ion temperatures and improved plasma performance.
