aic/1-1 overview of c-2w: high temperature, steady-state
TRANSCRIPT
Presenter: Hiroshi Gota IAEA FEC2020 (virtual) – May 12, 2021
Key Accomplishments on C-2W:
• Established reliable beam-driven high-βfield-reversed configurations (FRCs)
• Demonstrated FRC sustainment up to 30 msvia neutral-beam injection and edge biasing (limited by the energy storage on-site)
• Achieved total plasma temperature >3 keV
• Extended operational boundary, S*/E >3 (historical limit ~3), without tilting FRC
• Implemented reliable machine/FRCoptimizations, using advanced Optometrist Algorithm and active feedback plasma control systems
• Continued successful external collaborations
