Generation of field-reversed configurations via neutral beam injection

Abstract We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady-state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally directed energetic ion current and increase plasma dens...
