Demonstration of long-lived FRCs by dynamic merging Compact Toroids (CTs). Hot stable FRCs have been produced C-2 using the novel merging FRC technique, and plasma lifetime achieved record exceeding 2ms.

Two-chord interferometry using 3.39 m He–Ne laser on a flux-coil-generated FRC

Two-chord interferometry using 3.39 m He–Ne laser on a flux-coil-generated FRC

October 2010 | H. Gota |Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

A two-chord IR3.39 m He–Ne laser interferometer system was developed for a flux-coil-generated field-reversed configuration to estimate the electron density and the total temperature of the field-reversed configuration FRC plasma.
