Description

The particle confinement time in field-reversed configurations has been experimentally investigated in the FRX-C device. The measured confinement times of 70 to 190 μs are consistent with R2/rho/sub i0/ scaling and are in good agreement with theoretical predictions of lower-hybrid-drift--induced particle transport
