Increased particle confinement with the use of external dc bias field in the CTX spheromak
Description
Spheromaks are formed in a mesh flux conserver in the presence of an external dc bias field. The spheromaks remain stable to tilt instabilities with ratios of bias-to-spheromak flux of up to 47 +/- 7%. Normally applied bias flux puts the spheromak separatrix inside the metal mesh and improves the particle confinement
