Description

Initial (1988) operation of the Advanced Toroidal Facility (ATF) showed narrow pressure profiles and second stability behavior at lower beta than expected and revealed uncompensated dipoles in the helical winding leads that have since been corrected. Energy confinement times obtained with neutral beam injection (NBI) and electron cyclotron heating roughly follow the LHD scaling. However, a plasma collapse is observed with NBI.
