Energy confinement and beta limit in the belt-pinch experiment TENQ

  • 1. Kernforschungsanlage Juelich G.m.b.H. (Germany, F.R.). Inst. fuer Plasmaphysik

Description

In the belt-pinch experiment TENQ a stationary phase is observed, where the poloidal beta remains constant at a value of about two, indicating that the Joule heating balances the losses during this period. Prior to this phase, the poloidal beta decays rapidly from values approaching the critical beta to the equilibrium value of two. During this time interval the appearance of a reverse toroidal current near the inner edge of the plasma is observed. (author)
