Rotational Stability of FRC
April 2013 | D. Barnes | Sherwood Fusion Theory | Presentation
Mode is driven by rotation. Rotation provides fictitious outward gravity. Rayleigh-Taylor-like heavy-on-light instability.
Propagation of ion cyclotron resonant waves in an FRC configuration
April 2013 | F. Cecherini | Sherwood Fusion Theory | Presentation
The Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) exhibits very peculiar structures for both the plasma density and the magnetic field.
Transport simulations of an FRC with neutral beam injection using the Q2D code
April 2013 | M. Onofri | Sherwood Fusion Theory | Presentation
A 2D transport code (Q2D) is used to study the evolution of C2 Field Reversed Configuration with neutral beam injection.
High Performance Field-Reversed Configurations in the C-2 Device
February 2013 | H. Gota | Nihon Symposium | Presentation
Demonstration of a High Performance FRC (HPF) operating regime by combining effects of edge-biasing from an end-plasma-gun and of neutral-beam injection.
FRC Fusion with Advanced Fuels
February 2013 | M. Tuszewski | Nihon Symposium | Presentation
FRCs permit to use advanced fusion fuels.
Critical Near-Term Issues for FRCs
February 2013 | L. Steinhauer | Nihon Symposium | Presentation
Five critical near-term issues.
Overview of C-2 Experiments
February 2013 | H. Guo | EPR Workshop | Presentation
FRC offers an ideal configuration for an economic reactor and may allow use of aneutronic fuels.
Simulation of Fast Ion Transport in the C-2 FRC Experiment
January 2013 | S. Dettrick | 2013 Energetic Particles Workshop UCI | Presentation
Without magnetic perturbations, NB Ion energy confinement time is τE~ 500us. Most NB ion energy goes to heating electrons.

Charge separation and transport of the n=2 instability in C-2 FRC plasmas
November 2012 | B. Deng | APS-DPP | Poster
Bolometer data show that the plasma spin is in the ion diamagnetic direction, while the plasma column wobbles in the electron diamagnetic direction.
