Author contributions
L.S. carried out this research by designing and building the DBS diagnostic, and by collecting, analysing and interpreting C-2 diagnostic DBS data. E.R. contributed to the construction and operation of the DBS diagnostic and analysis software development. D.P.F., C.L., I.H. and Z.L. have adapted the GTC gyrokinetic stability code to FRC geometry and carried out the gyrokinetic stability analysis. T.T., S.A.D., M.W.B., L.S., S. Gupta2 and E. Trask2 contributed to equilibrium, transport and stability analysis for C-2 plasmas. In addition, D. Gupta2, W.A. Peebles1, T. Akhmetov4, J. Douglass2, E. Garate2, A. Ivanov4, S. Korepanov2, A. Smirnov2, M.C. Thompson2, and E. Trask2 contributed to the design, construction, operation, campaign planning and execution, and diagnostic development and data interpretation of the C-2 device and its multiple diagnostics. 1University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA. 2Tri Alpha Energy, Inc., P.O.
