C-2W Program Goals and Achievements
ü Demonstrate plasma parameter ramp up via NB heating and current drive
ü Achieve high electron temperature in the plasma edge and core regions
ü Develop plasma control on long time scales; > vessel L/R & plasma confinement time ü Explore a range of plasma parameters to confirm TAE energy confinement scaling
