RF Plasma Heating in the PFRC-2 Device: Motivation, Goals and Methods
Authors: S. Cohen, C. Brunkhorst, A. Glasser, A. Landsman, and D. Welch
Abstract:
The motivation for using radio frequency, odd-parity rotating magnetic fields for
heating field-reversed-configuration (FRC) plasmas is explained. Calculations are presented of
the expected electron and ion temperatures in the PFRC-2 device, currently under construction.
