3D Reconstruction of Plasma Equilibrium using Magnetic Diagnostics on the Compact Toroidal Hybrid 

Stevenson, Benjamin Adam (2011-12-05)
Equilibrium reconstruction of magnetically confined plasma for fusion energy research uses magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory in combination with experimental diagnostic data to accurately model high temperature plasma ...

Microparticle Dynamics in Strongly Magnetized Low Temperature Plasmas 

Lynch, Brian Jr (2017-07-25)
Dusty plasma systems consist of charged microparticles (usually called dust grains) embedded in a background plasma. The dust component can significantly modify the background plasma by collecting electrons and ions, thus ...

Vacuum Magnetic Flux Surface Measurements Made on the Compact Toroidal Hybrid 

Peterson, Joshua (2008-08-15)
Understanding the behavior of plasmas in magnetic confinement fusion devices typically requires accurate knowledge of the magnetic field structure. In stellarator-type confinement devices, the helical magnetic field is ...
