The Translation, Confinement, and Sustainment Upgrade (TCSU) device is a facility to form and sustain a field-reversed configuration (FRC) in quasi-steady state using rotating magnetic fields (RMF). Recent campaigns include Ti gettering, the installation of a set of internal flux rings, and RMF frequency scans. The Ti gettering campaign was successful, reduced impurities, and reduced deuterium recycling...
Reducing impurity radiation and overall recycling in the Translation, Confinement, and Sustainment Upgrade (TCSU) device enabled the plasma to enter into a new, collisionless regime with temperatures well over 200 eV, substantially exceeding the radiation barrier. This new field reversed configuration (FRC) state exhibits the following key features: (1) dramatic improvement in current drive efficiency...
