Spontaneous Appearance of Toroidal Field in Field Reversed Configuration Plasma

View through CrossRef
The field reversed configuration (FRC) plasma had been thought to have poloidal field only, but in this experiment, toroidal field was observed. We report magnetic probe measurements on our FIX machine, and the existence of toroidal field in the FRC plasma during its translation. The magnitude of the toroidal field is 100∼150 G at the peak, and the direction of the toroidal field is counterclockwise looking toward the θ-pinch region, irrespective of the direction of the external axial field. The obtained toroidal field has a direction opposite to the toroidal field in FRX-C/LSM.
