Drift-wave stability in the field-reversed configuration
August 2017 | C. K. Lau | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
Gyrokinetic simulations of C-2-like field-reversed configuration (FRC) find that electrostatic drift- waves are locally stable in the core. The stabilization mechanisms include finite Larmor radius effects, magnetic well (negative grad-B), and fast electron short circuit effects.

Compact Toroid Injection Fueling in a Large Field-Reversed Configuration
May 2017 | T. Asai | Nuclear Fusion | Paper
A repetitively driven compact toroid (CT) injector has been developed for the large eld- reversed con guration (FRC) facility of the C-2/C-2U, primarily for particle refueling. A CT is formed and injected by a magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG) exclusively developed for the C-2/C-2U FRC.
