Fast Ions in the C-2W FRC
• Fast ions in C-2W are created through neutral beam injection
• They are significantly superthermal:

•
• •
•

Low-field FRC causes large orbits:
$! ~1 %"#$
Orbits not confined to flux surfaces
Magnetic moment is not typically conserved
Large variety in orbital characteristics leads to ergodic fast ion population
