High-beta tokamaks by pinch techniques
Description
Pulsed high beta tokamaks (toroidal pinches), which use magnetic implosion and adiabatic compression in addition to ohmic heating to create a high-beta toroidal plasma configuration, are considered. The theoretical results which are common to the toroidal pinch and the flux-conserving tokamak approaches are summarized, with additional emphasis on force-free currents. The various high beta tokamak experiments are reviewed, with an attempt to interpret their results in a consistent and critical manner. 27 references, 1 table
