Measuring dynamic fast ion spatial profiles with fusion protons in the Madison Symmetric Torus

Measuring dynamic fast ion spatial profiles with fusion protons in the Madison Symmetric Torus

July 2018 | R. M. Magee | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

Neutral beam injected fast ions play a dominant role in both the field reversed configuration (FRC) at TAE Technologies and the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed field pinch (RFP), making fast ion diagnosis a major pillar of both research programs.

The C-2W device generates a field reversed configuration
(FRC) plasma in a 1.6 m diameter Inconel confinement vessel
(CV) by forming and accelerating two FRCs in opposite direc-
tions to collide and merge in the CV.
