Nonlinear anisotropic equilibrium reconstruction in axisymmetric magnetic mirrors
S. J. Frank, I. Agarwal, J. K. Anderson +17
Magnetic equilibrium reconstruction is a crucial simulation capability for interpreting diagnostic measurements of experimental plasmas. Equilibrium reconstruction has mostly been…
First implementation of AXUV-based analysis and macro-instability diagnostics on WHAM
K. Shih, D. Endrizzi, D. A. Sutherland +13
Absolute extreme ultraviolet (AXUV) diode arrays are widely used in fusion experiments for time-resolved measurements of plasma radiation. We report the first implementation of an…
Confinement performance predictions for a high field axisymmetric tandem mirror
S. J. Frank, J. Viola, Yu. V. Petrov +14
This paper presents Hammir tandem mirror confinement performance analysis based on Realta Fusion's first-of-a-kind model for axisymmetric magnetic mirror fusion performance. This m…
Drift-cyclotron loss-cone instability in 3D simulations of a sloshing-ion simple mirror
Aaron Tran, Samuel J. Frank, Ari Y. Le +11
The kinetic stability of collisionless, sloshing beam-ion (45° pitch angle) plasma is studied in a 3D simple magnetic mirror, mimicking the Wisconsin High-temperature superconduct…
