Study of plasma convection and wall interactions in magnetic-confinement systems. Progress report, October 1, 1981-November 30, 1982
Description
Experimental results dealing with compact toroid formation in a 50 cm long 10.5 cm diam. field reverse theta pinch (FRTP) dischage are presented. Unique behavior of the CT plasma is evident in preionization and extended lifetime in some cases. Rotational and tearing instabilities are not presently evident, but a complete set of diagnostics is being emplaced. An extension of scaling studies presented in an earlier report has been made for the present experiment. Futher, experimental testing of guide coil magnetic fields has been carried out; these confirm the accuracy of the code work reported earlier. The completion of work on a high sensitivity Fabry-Perot fractional fringe interferometer is briefly outlined. Progress on developing a high energy Nd-glass Thomson scattering diagnostic is also reported
