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: The kinetic stabilizing effect of fast ions on a disruptive magneto-hydrodynamic instability, known as a tilt mode, which poses a central obstacle to further field-reversed configuration development, is demonstrated by energetic beam injection.
Flux and particle life-time measurements in field-reversed configurations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a programmed formation technique to form field-reversed configurations with large amounts of poloidal flux, and thus large separatrix radii, and the particle confinement time has been found to scale approximately linearly with the amount of flux.

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: It is shown that FRC plasmas have unique, beneficial microstability properties that differ from typical regimes in toroidal confinement devices, opening the prospect of active boundary and transport control in view of reactor requirements.
