Description

TOKASTAR-2 device can be operated to generate the magnetic surface without plasma current by using additional helical field coils. Since magnetic surfaces depend on the location of additional field coils, the setup angle of them was determined using magnetic field tracing analysis. And we investigated the relation between varying coil current ratios and the shift of magnetic surface. In the experiment we tried to induce plasma current in pre-ionized plasma. Only 0.1 kA plasma current was produced and horizontal displacement of plasma was observed. (author)
