ELMO Bumpy Torus: present and future
Description
The present status of the ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT) research activities at ORNL is briefly described. The EBT experiment was designed to circumvent the MHD stability problem encountered in standard bumpy tori by using the minimium-B properties of annular high-beta, hot-electron plasmas formed by microwave heating. The EBT combines the attractive features of both mirrors and tokamaks. The feasibility of this combined system has been demonstrated successfully in the EBT-I experiment. 13 references, 4 figures
