HHFW in FRC configurations requires a hot-plasma approach that can be investigated through the RFP.
First results show that energy deposition is expected to depend
strongly on parallel refractive index.

Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs) are characterized by particular electric and magnetic field geometries that are due to the presence of unique particle orbit types as so-called Betatron, Drift, Fig8 and Type 1 orbits.
