Theory and operation of the m = 1 helicity source experiment

Creators

Description

A program in electrode studies has been established at Los Alamos on a separate experiment from CTX to develop technical aspects of spheromak sustainment by magnetic helicity injection. As part of the development of an improved, low-erosion helicity source, we have tried different electrode configurations that might have technical advantages. We are now examining a configuration in which the source of helicity is separated from the spheromak flux conserver (D = 80 cm, L = 40 cm) by a cylindrical entrance region of significant length (D = L = 40 cm)
