NB model accounts for grid size, divergence, duct loss Primary edge neutral source: plasma and neutral wall recycling. Bump in neutral density at 0.2 m
Measurements of fusion products in the beam-driven field reversed configuration
October 2019 | R. M. Magee | APS-DPP | Poster
Measurements of fusion products in the C-2U and C-2W1 FRCs reveal the dynamics of the highest energy fusile ions in the plasma.
Integrated Modeling of Stability and Transport of FRC Plasmas
April 2019 | A.Necas | 2019 Sherwood Fusion Theory | Poster
TAE Technologies, Inc, has an active fusion plasma research program centered around the FRC (Field Reversed Configuration) magnetic topology and the existing C-2W (aka Norman) experiment.
Direct observation of ion acceleration from a beam-driven wave in a magnetic fusion experiment
March 2019 | R.M. Magee | Nature Physics | Paper
Efficiently heating a magnetically confined plasma to thermonuclear temperatures remains a central issue in fusion energy research. One well-established technique is to inject beams of neutral particles into the plasma, a process known as neutral beam injection.
Fusion Enhancement from Bunched Ion Beams
October 2018 | B. Scott Nicks | APS-DPP | Poster
Beam-driven ion-Bernstein mode seen theoretically, exhibits wakefield character that creates similar large fast ion tail and fusion enhancement
