We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady-state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally directed energetic ion current …

A system for analyzing equilibria with fully kinetic ions is developed, aimed at understanding ion end-loss rates in field-reversed configurations. The method builds upon the constants of motion in energy-momentum phase space.
