October 2016 | T. Matsumoto | APS-DPP | Poster
The compact toroid (CT) injector system has been developed for particle refueling on the C-2U device.
Characterization of compact-toroid injection during formation, translation, and field-penetration
July 2016 | T. Matsumoto | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
We have developed a compact toroid (CT) injector system for particle refueling of the advanced beam- driven C-2U field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma. The CT injector is a magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG), and the produced CT must cross the perpendicular magnetic field surrounding the FRC for the refueling of C-2U.
Development of a magnetized coaxial plasma gun for compact toroid injection into the C-2 field-reversed configuration device
May 2016 | T. Matsumoto | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
A compact toroid (CT) injector was developed for the C-2 device, primarily for refueling of field- reversed configurations. The CTs are formed by a magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG), which consists of coaxial cylindrical electrodes and a bias coil for creating a magnetic field.
Development of Compact Toroid Injector for C-2 FRCs
October 30, 2014 | T. Matsumoto | APS-DPP | Poster
A collaborative research project with TAE Technologies has been started and we have developed a new compact toroid (CT) injector for the C-2 device, mainly for fueling field-reversed configurations (FRCs).
