Experiments on the Model C Stellarator

The Model C Stellarator was the last and most powerful of a series of stellarator devices operated at Princeton during the period from 1953 to 1969. Experiments on Model C addressed the problem of anomalous plasma loss and tested major innovative concepts including the divertor and radio-frequency (rf) heating. This review focuses on portions of Model C work that have strongly influenced present-day research and understanding of toroidal confinement in stellarators and tokamaks
