Talk Overview:
▪ C-2W now can form plasmas with Neutral Beam Injection (NBI)
▪ Electron density profiles measured by FIR interferometry
▪ Profile shape parameterization
▪ Overall similar, but larger
November 2025 | Y. Zhou | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
A silicon drift-detector-based pulse-height x-ray energy spectrometer has been recently deployed on C-2W to investigate the distribution of suprathermal electrons. Measurements from this spectrometer reveal x-ray photons with energies of several kiloelectronvolts …

Neutral beam injection has been shown to create field-reversed configuration plasmas on C-2W. Recent advances in optimization and control of eight neutral beam injectors help deliver customized current drive for a plethora of plasma regimes.
July 2025 | G. Bruhaug | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
We report on THz pulses with energy flux exceeding 2.5 J/sr and high directionality, generated from picosecond, joule laser irradiation of
microwires. The impact of wire diameter, length, and laser irradiation orientation is explored …
