Re-acceleration of Energetic Ions via Small-Scale Reconnection in Magnetic Fusion Plasmas
Cong Zhang, Shaodong Song, Di Luo +15
We report the first observation on the EXL-50U spherical torus that energetic particles injected by neutral beam injection (NBI) can be stably accelerated to significantly higher e…
Non-Inductive Current Start-Up Using Multi-Harmonic Electron Cyclotron Wave and Current Ramp-Up Through Combined Electron Cyclotron Wave and Ohmic Heating in EXL-50U Spherical Torus
Xinchen Jiang, Yuejiang Shi, Yueng-Kay Martin Peng +21
The non-inductive current start-up by multi-harmonic electron cyclotron wave has been systematically investigated in the EXL-50U spherical torus. Significant enhancements of the dr…
Achievement of 1 MA Discharges in Hydrogen-Boron Plasmas on EXL-50U
Yuejiang Shi
One mega ampere (MA) plasma discharges were achieved on the EXL-50U spherical torus (ST) in hydrogen-boron (p-B) plasmas with toroidal fields up to 1 T at major radii up to 0.6m. A…
Overview of EXL-50 Research Progress and Future Plan
Yuejiang Shi, Yumin Wang, Bing Liu +37
XuanLong-50 (EXL-50) is the first medium-size spherical torus (ST) in China, with the toroidal field at major radius at 50 cm around 0.5T. CS-free and non-inductive current drive v…
ENN's Roadmap for Proton-Boron Fusion Based on Spherical Torus
Min-sheng Liu, Hua-sheng Xie, Yu-min Wang +21
ENN Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. (ENN) is committed to generating fusion energy in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner, which requires abundant an…
Proton-Boron Fusion Yield Increased by Orders of Magnitude with Foam Targets
Wen-Qing Wei, Shi-Zheng Zhang, Zhi-Gang Deng +35
A novel intense beam-driven scheme for high yield of the tri-alpha reaction 11B(p,α)2α was investigated. We used a foam target made of cellulose triacetate (TAC, C_9H_{16}O_8) dope…
Experimental study on edge energetic electrons in EXL-50 spherical torus
Dong Guo, Yuejiang Shi, Wenjun Liu +9
A significant number of confined energetic electrons have been observed outside the Last Closed Flux Surface (LCFS) of the solenoid-free, ECRH sustained plasmas in the EXL-50 spher…
Solenoid-free current drive via ECRH in EXL-50 spherical torus plasmas
Yuejiang Shi, Bing Liu, Shaodong Song +25
As a new spherical tokamak (ST) designed to simplify engineering requirements of a possible future fusion power source, the EXL-50 experiment features a low aspect ratio (A) vacuum…
