Demonstration of a High Performance FRC (HPF) operating regime by combining effects of edge-biasing from an end-plasma-gun and of neutral-beam injection.
November 2012 | H. Gota | APS-DPP | Poster
A high temperature, stable, long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma state has been produced in the C-2 device by dynamically colliding and merging two oppositely directed compact toroids, by biasing edge plasma near the FRC separatrix from a plasma-gun (PG) located at one end of the C-2 device, and by neutral-beam (NB) injection.

High temperature, stable, long-lived FRC state, so-called High Performance FRC (HPF), has been produced in the C-2 device.
June 2012 | H. Gota | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
A long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma has been produced in the C-2 device by dynamically colliding and merging two oppositely directed, highly supersonic compact toroids (CTs).
May 2012 | H. Gota | HTPD | Poster
A reversed-field structure of the translated CTs and final merged FRC state have been directly verified by probing the internal magnetic field structure using a multi-channel magnetic probe array near the midplane of the C-2 confinement chamber.
