Variations in axial and radial electric fields are determining factors in electron-ion confinement as well
as plasma rotation and heating.

Long-lived, hot FRCs with excluded flux radius up to 50 cm are sustained in steady-state in the central confinement vessel by utilizing several advanced subsystems.

We investigate here the interaction of the mirror plasma scrape-off layer, characterized by drift-interchange turbulence with an exponential toroidal wavenumber spectrum, and the much more quiescent FRC core, characterized by very low ion-scale turbulence levels, and a flat or inverted toroidal wavenumber spectrum.
