Large density amplification measured on jets ejected from a magnetized plasma gun [PDF]
, 2007 Observation of a large density amplification in the collimating plasma jet ejected from a coplanar coaxial plasma gun is reported. The jet velocity is ~30 km s^-1 and the electron density increases from ~10^20 to 10^(22–23) m^-3.

Low n electromagnetic modes in spherical tokamaks
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2021 Abstract The performance of spherical tokamak reactors depends on plasma β, and an upper limit is set by long-wavelength kinetic ballooning modes (KBMs). We examine how these modes become unstable in spherical-tokamak reactor relevant plasmas, which may contain significant fast-ion pressure.

Studies of various lower hybrid wave launch scenarios for non-inductive start-up on TST-2 [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesEfficient non-inductive start-up of a spherical tokamak may be achieved by using lower hybrid waves that have high current drive efficiency. On the TST-2 spherical tokamak, three lower hybrid launchers are installed at the outer-midplane, top and outer ...
