The ZT-P experiment
Description
ZT-P is a compact, air core Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) experiment presently under construction at Los Alamos. Its primary experimental goals include the following: 1. Prototypical demonstration of an intrinsically low field error, air core RFP. 2. Determination of the conducting boundary conditions necessary for RFP operation. (For example, operation with conducting shells of various time constants and shell-less operation.). 3. Development of a relevant data base for high current density ''reactor-like'' operation ( = 20 MA/m/sup 2/). ZT-P has a major radius of 45.1 cm and a minor radius of 6.8 cm. The experiment is designed to facilitate the insertion of different front ends, including first walls of various composition. A general summary of the machine design and performance specifications is presented
