A Proposed Experiment to Study Relaxation Formation of a Spherical Tokamak with a Plasma Center Column | | S. C. Hsu

19 May 2006 | | Subject: | Plasma Physics | | Abstract: | A spherical tokamak (ST) with a plasma center column (PCC) can be formed via driven magnetic relaxation of a screw pinch plasma. An ST-PCC could in principle eliminate many problems associated with a material center column, a key weakness of the ST reactor concept. This work summarizes the design space for an ST-PCC in terms of flux amplification, aspect ratio, and elongation, based on the zero-beta Taylor-relaxed analysis of Tang & Boozer [Phys. Plasmas 13, 042514 (2006)]. The paper will discuss (1) equilibrium and stability properties of the ST-PCC, (2) issues for an engineering design, and (3) key differences between the proposed ST-PCC and the ongoing Proto-Sphera effort in Italy. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/0605174 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
