2008 Three-Dimensional Equilibrium Reconstruction: V3FIT Print E-mail

2008 - American Physical Society - Division of Plasma Physics

Equilibrium Reconstruction (ER) is an inverse problem, where the signals from experimental diagnostics are used to determine the parameters (current profile, pressure profile) which specify an MHD equilibrium.

2008 Magnetic Diagnostics on the Compact Toroidal Hybrid Print E-mail

2008 - American Physical Society - Division of Plasma Physics

Plasma equilibria with significant levels of toroidal plasma current are investigated on the Compact Toroidal Hybrid (CTH) to assess the nature of current-driven instabilities in stellarators.

2008 Instability Studies on the Compact Toroidal Hybrid Print E-mail

2008 - American Physical Society - Division of Plasma Physics

Ohmic currents are driven in ECRH plasmas in CTH (R0 = 0.75 m, a = 0.2 m, B = 0.64 T, ne ≤ 10^19 m−3 ) to explore the resistance of stellarator plasmas to major disruptions with varying levels of vacuum rotational transform.
