without any serious deleterious effects on the C-2/C-2U FRC. Dα emission indicates possible pollution by trailing gas. However, it can be reduced drastically by PI technique on the MCPG. An effective technique of particle fueling is a common development issue in any magnetically confined fusion reactor. This work would provide an effective fueling technique for magnetically confined plasmas.
