C-2 achievement new HPF regime with dramatically improved stability & confinement. Developed effective means to control stability and transport.
September 2012 | R. Milroy | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
We find beam stability of the tilt mode, in agreement with Barnes & Milroy, when similar beam and plasma parameters are applied.

Understand the Role of Turbulence for Radial Transport
September 2012 | A. Smirnov | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
A versatile, robust and highly reliable NBI system was built, tested and integrated with the C-2 experiment. NBI improves the plasma performance.

The negative-ion based injector of a hydrogen neutral beam with the energy of 500- 1000 keV is being developed in the Budker Institute.
September 2012 | T. Del Rosso | Optics Letters | Paper
We describe the performance of a second-harmonic interferometer (SHI) to measure, on an optical path exceeding 12 m, the electron plasma density of two plasmoids formed in separate theta-pinch chambers and then merged in a central compression chamber after undergoing acceleration and compression.
