Upgrades to TAE Technologies C-2 Neutron Detector System
November 2012 | E. Garate | APS-DPP | Poster
We are implementing additional scintillator based neutron detectors on the TAE Technologies C-2 system.
Interaction of Fast Ions with Global Plasma Modes in the C-2 Field Reversed Configuration Experiment
November 2012 | A. Smirnov | APS-DPP | Poster
A high-confinement operating regime [1] with plasma lifetimes significantly exceeding past empirical scaling laws was recently obtained by combining plasma gun edge biasing and tangential Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in the C-2 field-reversed configuration (FRC) experiment [2, 3].
Monte Carlo Simulation of Neutral Beam Injection in C-2
September 2012 | S. Dettrick | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
Without magnetic perturbations, NBI energy confinement time is ~500ms. Most NBI energy goes on heating electrons. Supports the interpretation of HPF results.
Neutral Beam Injection in the C-2 Facility
September 2012 | A. Smirnov | US-Japan CT Workshop | Presentation
A versatile, robust and highly reliable NBI system was built, tested and integrated with the C-2 experiment. NBI improves the plasma performance.
Development of a negative ion-based neutral beam injector in Novosibirsk
September 2012 | A. Ivanov | NIBS | Presentation
The negative-ion based injector of a hydrogen neutral beam with the energy of 500- 1000 keV is being developed in the Budker Institute.
