Summary of TMX-U results, 1984. Volume 1
Description
This progress report describes results from the upgraded Tandem Mirror Experiment (TMX-U), which began in May 1982, following the completion and checkout of modifications to the TMX facility. These modifications allowed us to carry out proof-of-principle experiments on the thermal-barrier method of tandem mirror end-plugging. As defined in the TMX-U proposal, the physics objectives of TMX-U were to: (1) Investigate a complete tandem-mirror thermal-barrier system: (a) demonstrate end-plug microstability, (b) investigate magnetohydromic MHD stability, (c) develop electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), create mirror-confined end-cell electrons, and generate end-plug plasma potentials, and (d) demonstrate the electron temperature gradient across the thermal barrier; and (2) Improve TMX performance
