Description

The START experiment (Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak) is a low-budget device, now under construction at Culham, specifically intended to investigate MHD behavior at extremely tight aspect ratios (as low as R/a ∼ 1.2) and the effectiveness of a major radius compression technique to produce high toroidal current in such plasmas. 1 ref., 4 figs
