Experiments on additional heating of FRC plasmas

摘要

Experiments on additional heating by beam injection and application of a low frequency wave to a plasma with an extremely high averaged beta value of about 90% __a field reversed configuration (FRC) plasma__ are carried out using the FRC Injection Experiment (FIX) apparatus. These experiments are made possible by translating the FRC plasma produced in a formation region Of a theta pinch to a confinement region in order to secure better accessibility to heating facilities and To control plasma density.
