Final Report - Effect of Magnetic Configuration on Spheromak Performances, FY2000 - FY2001, Tracking No.00-SI-008

Description: This is the final report on LDRD SI-funded research to determine the Effect of Magnetic Field Configurations on Spheromak Performance for the years FY2000-FY2001, during which a new set of bias magnetic field coils was used to change the vacuum magnetic field configuration of the SSPX spheromak at LLNL. The USDOE Office of Fusion Energy Science funded the routine operation of the SSPX facility during FY00 and FY01. A photo of the SSPX facility as it appeared in mid-FY01, appears in this report.… more

A Laser-Based Diagnostic for Tracing Magnetic Field Lines in Spheromks and Other Self-Organized Magnetically Confined Plamas

Description: We are in the process of testing a new technique for measuring the magnetic field-line topology in magnetically confined plasmas. The basic idea behind the FLIRT (Field LIne TRacing) diagnostic is to use a high powerful short pulse laser to launch a burst of energetic ({approx}100keV) electrons from a target passing through the plasma of interest; these electrons then generally follow field lines until they strike a solid surface, where a burst of x-rays is produced and then detected. The field… more
