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.

The staged Z-pinch as a potential fusion energy source
E. Ruskov,Paul Ney,H. U. Rahman +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that shock waves play an important role in preheating the target plasma and in piling up liner mass at the liner/target interface, which results in higher ram pressure just before the pinch stagnation time and ultimately in higher energy density target plasma.

Ar and Kr on deuterium gas-puff staged Z-pinch implosions on a 1-MA driver: Experiment and simulation
H. U. Rahman,E. Ruskov,Paul Ney,F. Conti,J. C. Valenzuela,Nicholas Aybar,Jeff Narkis,Farhat Beg,E. Dutra,Aaron Covington +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the compression of a deuterium target by a high-atomic-number (Ar or Kr) gas-puff liner, and found that the compression improved axial premagnetization of 1-2kG observed as a decrease in magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth.

Characterization of a Liner-on-Target Gas Injector for Staged Z-Pinch Experiments
F. Conti,J. C. Valenzuela,Nicholas Aybar,Frank Wessel,M. P. Ross,Jeff Narkis,H. U. Rahman,E. Ruskov,Farhat Beg +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a double-valve injector for the staged Z-pinch (SZP) experiment is presented, where a high-Z gas liner implodes onto a deuterium gas target.

A photodiode-based neutral particle bolometer for characterizing charge-exchanged fast-ion behavior.
R. Clary,Artem Smirnov,Sean Dettrick,K. Knapp,Sergey Korepanov,E. Ruskov,William Heidbrink,Y. B. Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: A neutral particle bolometer (NPB) has been designed and implemented on Tri Alpha Energy's C-2 device in order to spatially and temporally resolve the charge-exchange losses of fast-ion populations originating from neutral beam injection into field-reversed configuration plasmas.
