The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory

, 2015
The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory (WiPAL) is a flexible user facility designed to study a range of astrophysically relevant plasma processes as well as novel geometries that mimic astrophysical systems. A multi-cusp magnetic bucket constructed

Nonlinear fishbone dynamics in spherical tokamaks

Nuclear Fusion, 2016
Abstract Linear and nonlinear kinetic-MHD hybrid simulations have been carried out to investigate linear stability and nonlinear dynamics of beam-driven fishbone instability in spherical tokamak plasmas. Realistic NSTX parameters with finite toroidal rotation were used.

Ion acceleration during internal magnetic reconnection events in TST-2

, 2004
Characteristics of ion acceleration in the internal magnetic reconnection events (IRE) have been studied by means of a neutral particle energy analyzer (NPA) in Tokyo Spherical Tokamak (TST-2). The major and minor radii are 0.38 m and 0.25m, respectively.

Orbital-motion-limited theory of dust charging and plasma response

, 2014
The foundational theory for dusty plasmas is the dust charging theory that provides the dust potential and charge arising from the dust interaction with a plasma.

Heating and current drive in STEP: why neutral beam injection is not desirable

Nuclear Fusion
Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is the UK’s prototype fusion power plant programme aiming to demonstrate net electrical output from a spherical tokamak. The plasma scenarios require a completely non-inductive current drive for the flat-top

Neutron shielding and activation of the MASTU device and surrounds

, 2014
A significant functional upgrade is planned for the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) device, located at Culham in the UK, including the implementation of a notably greater neutral beam injection power.

Energetic particles in spherical tokamak plasmas

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2017
Spherical tokamaks (STs) typically have lower magnetic fields than conventional tokamaks, but similar mass densities. Suprathermal ions with relatively modest energies, in particular beam-injected ions, consequently have speeds close to or exceeding the Alfven velocity, and can therefore excite a range of Alfvenic instabilities which could be driven by

Overview of recent results from the ST40 compact high-field spherical tokamak

Nuclear Fusion
ST40 is a compact, high-field ( $B_{\mathrm{T0}}\unicode{x2A7D} 2.1\,\,\,\textrm{T}$ ) spherical tokamak (ST) with a mission to expand the physics and technology basis for the ST route to commercial fusion.

The impact of E × B shear on microtearing based transport in spherical tokamaks

Nuclear Fusion
Electromagnetic microtearing modes (MTMs) have been observed in many different spherical tokamak (ST) regimes. Understanding how these and other electromagnetic modes nonlinearly saturate is likely critical in understanding the confinement of a high β ST.
