FRC (field-reversed configuration) translation studies on FRX-C/LSM Open
In preparation for upcoming compression-heating experiments, field-reversed configurations (FRCs) have been translated out of the FRX-C/LSM theta-pinch source, and into the 0.4-m-id, 6.7-m-long translation region formerly used on FRX-C/T. …

Doppler broadening measurements in FRX-C/LSM Open
Measurements obtained in situ during field reversed configuration (FRC) formation show that the Doppler broadening ion temperature T{sub CV} is larger by a factor of two or more than the ion temperature T{sub i} derived from pressure balan…

Proposed FRX-D experiment Open
The field-reversed-configuration (FRC) research program is poised for a significant step forward. Resolution of the critical FRC physics issues, which must now be addressed in order to advance the development of this concept, requires expe…

Recent FRC translation experiments on FRX-C/T Open
Since the last CT Symposium, several accomplishments have been realized from the FRC translation studies on the FRX-C/T device: (1) FRCs have been launched into, and trapped in, a dc magnetic guide field region without the use of any pulse…

Translation of field-reversed configurations in the FRX C/T experiment Open
One of the unique features inherent to compact toroids is the potential ability to translate the plasma along its geometric axis. CT translation has proven useful in reactor design studies, and has been the focus of several experimental in…

Ion heating studies in the ZT-40M reversed field pinch Open
A neutral particle analyzer (NPA) has been used on ZT-40M to measure the neutral deuterium spectra to an energy of 8keV. The NPA has confirmed the existence of a hot ion population during deeply reversed ramped discharges. Preliminary neut…
