TL;DR: The C-2W experimental device (also called "Norman") as discussed by the authors is the world's largest compact-toroid (CT) device, which has several key upgrades from the preceding C2U device such as higher input power and longer pulse duration of the NBI system as well as installation of inner divertors with upgraded electrode biasing systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a stable field-reversed FRC with a dominant fast particle population is presented. But the authors do not consider the effect of the neutral beam (NB) injection on the stability of the system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a plasma gun is installed at one end of the C-2 device to attempt electric field control of the FRC edge layer, which counters the usual FRC spin-up and mitigates the n'='2 rotational instability without applying quadrupole magnetic fields.
