Doppler spectroscopy and D-alpha emission diagnostics for the C-2 FRC plasma
October 2010 | D. Gupta | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
Two Doppler spectroscopy diagnostics with complementary capabilities are developed to measure the ion temperatures and velocities of FRC plasmas in the C-2 device.
Spectroscopic measurement of ion temperature and ion velocity distributions in the flux-coil generated FRC
October 2010 | D. Gupta | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
One aim of the flux-coil generated field reversed configuration at TAE Technologies TAE is to establish the plasma where the ion rotational energy is greater than the ion thermal energy.
Two-color CO2/HeNe laser interferometer for C-2 experiment
October 2010 | O. Gornostaeva | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
A six-channel two-color interferometer has been developed for plasma electron density measurements in the C-2 field reversed configuration experiment.
Two-chord interferometry using 3.39 m He–Ne laser on a flux-coil-generated FRC
October 2010 | H. Gota |Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
A two-chord IR3.39 m He–Ne laser interferometer system was developed for a flux-coil-generated field-reversed configuration to estimate the electron density and the total temperature of the field-reversed configuration FRC plasma.
Development of a nine spatial point multipulse Thomson scattering diagnostic
October 2010 | F. Glass | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
A Thomson scattering diagnostic has been developed for the C-2 field-reversed configuration device. Based on a multipulse ruby laser, the system measures the electron temperature at nine spatial points.
