Reversal of the toroidal magnetic field in pinches
Description
Developments in the understanding of the reverse field pinch as a relaxed state having a near minimum magnetic energy content are reviewed. Experimental results from ZETA and HBTX I show that plasmas tend to relax towards the above state, and self-reversal of the toroidal field is observed. The self reversal phenomenon has also been investigated on FRSX and a 3.5 m linear pinch having the same parameters. Results from all these experiments are reviewed and discussed. (author)
