Description
Methods of plasma formation at low aspect ratio are described, and it is shown that the problems of plasma induction (due to the limited space for a central solenoid) can be overcome. Improvements have recently been made to the START experiment, and the operating region of START plasmas has been considerably extended, with all low aspect ratio plasmas remaining immune to the current terminating major disruption. Novel features of spherical tokamak plasmas, such as high plasma elongation (up to four) and the natural exhaust, are reported. (author). 7 refs, 4 figs
