Generation of field-reversed configurations via neutral beam injection Open
We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady-state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally dir…

Enhanced plasma performance in C-2W advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration experiments Open
TAE Technologies’ fifth-generation fusion device, C-2W (also called ‘Norman’), is the world’s largest compact-toroid device and has made significant progress in field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma performance. C-2W produces record br…

Ion temperature effects on plasma flow in the magnetic mirror configuration Open
Effects of finite ion temperature on the plasma flow in the converging–diverging magnetic field, the magnetic mirror, or equivalently, magnetic nozzle configuration are studied using a quasineutral paraxial two-fluid MHD model with isother…

First experimental measurements of a new fast ion driven micro-burst instability in a field-reversed configuration plasma Open
In modern field-reversed configuration (FRC) experiments at TAE Technologies, classical FRC instabilities are suppressed by advanced neutral beam injection and edge biasing methods, leading to high plasma confinement and fast ion pressure …

Divertor for a linear fusion device Open
Linear fusion devices can use large magnetic flux flaring in the end tanks to reduce the heat load on the end structures. In order to reduce parallel electron heat loss, one has to create conditions where the neutral gas density in the end…
