Neutral Beam Dump Utilizing Cathodic Arc Titanium Evaporation
June 2010 | A. Smirnov | Open Systems | Presentation
Unlike tokamaks, where the neutral beam shine through is rarely an issue, open magnetic systems with neutral beam injection oftentimes suffer from incomplete beam capture, which necessitates the handling of the shine through power load and beam particle recycling.
