The Field-Reversed Configuration Heating Experiment (FRCHX) is a collaborative experiment between the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to explore the physics of magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) and other high energy density laboratory plasma (HEDLP) phenomena. In the experiment, a plasma in a field-reversed configuration (FRC), with density 5 × 1016 ions/cm...
Summary form only given. Arrays of Si PIN diodes are fielded on radiation producing experiments on the Shiva Star pulsed power generator at AFRL's Directed Energy Directorate. This work is a continuation of earlier work done on Shiva Star. Each diode is filtered to respond to a part of the band of interest and the signals are then deconvolved to generate the radiation spectrum as a function of time...
Summary form only given. Experiments on FRC formation and translation into the interior of a metal shell or liner have been conducted at AFRL. Flux exclusion, collimated light, and interferometer data on magnetized plasma injection will be presented. These are a pre-requisite for FRC compression by liner implosion, experiment progress on which will also be presented. FRC translation, capture, and...
