Thomson Scattering, Interferometry and Polarimetry on C-2
September 2012 | B. Deng | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
The 9 point Thomson scattering diagnostic system is routinely providing Te profile measurements in C-2. Density profile measurement capability is being developed.
Monte Carlo Simulation of Neutral Beam Injection in C-2
September 2012 | S. Dettrick | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
Without magnetic perturbations, NBI energy confinement time is ~500ms. Most NBI energy goes on heating electrons. Supports the interpretation of HPF results.
Overview of C-2 Experiments
September 2012 | H. Guo | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
C-2 achievement new HPF regime with dramatically improved stability & confinement. Developed effective means to control stability and transport.
NIMROD Simulations of the Stabilization of the FRC Tilt Instability with Energetic Ion Beams
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.
Towards Understanding C-2 Turbulence and Transport Characteristics

Understand the Role of Turbulence for Radial Transport
Neutral Beam Injection in the C-2 Facility
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.
