The magnetic structure of FRCs cannot be measured directly by existing diagnostics. A new tool “Grushenka” finds the structure based on magnetic measurements at the vessel wall.

Tilt instability in FRC plasmas1 is a well-known MHD phenomenon that has been extensively investigated over the years by different authors and an empirical scaling law

Coupled transport is the close interconnection between the cross-field and parallel fluxes in differ- ent regions due to topological changes in the magnetic field. This occurs because perpendicular transport is necessary for particles or energy to leave closed field-line regions, while parallel transport strongly affects evolution of open field-line regions.

FRC physics understanding benefits from advanced scientific analysis tools such as Bayesian analysis, which allow comparison of various physics models according to their data evidence.
