Production of field-reversed configurations with a magnetized coaxial plasma gun
Description
Compact toroids were generated which can be made to come to rest in a cylindrical resistive flux conserver. They are observed to rotate so that their major axis is perpendicular to the axis of the flux conserver. Subsequently they appear to remain stationary and decay with a time constant of about 100 μs. We have also generated compact toroids in an oblate geometry which remain aligned with the axis of the flux conserver and decay with a time constant of 150 μs. The magnetic field reconnection time for compact toroid formation is measured in the latter case to be much shorter than the decay time
