Experiments indicate beam-driven mode in the vicinity of the ion cyclotron frequency ?=1 seen at low ?—conditions typically found in C2U FRC scrape-off layer and outbound of separatrix.

C-2U is a unique hybrid field-reversed configuration (FRC) where we successfully combine a high-beta (~1) FRC plasma with neutral beam injection (NBI), field line biasing, and mirror physics.

Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs) heated by neutral beam injection may include a large fast ion pressure that significantly modifies the equilibrium. A new analysis is required to characterize such hybrid FRCs, as the simple relations used up to now prove inaccurate.

The C-2U experiment offers a unique plasma environment combining a high beta field reversed configuration (FRC) embedded in a low beta magnetic mirror with high power neutral beam injection.
