Sawtooth stabilization by energetic trapped particles
TL;DR: A high-energy trapped-particle population is shown to have a strong stabilizing effect on the internal resistive kink mode of a tokamak plasma.
Fusion neutron production during deuterium neutral-beam injection into the PLT tokamak
J. D. Strachan,P. Colestock,S. L. Davis,D. Eames,P. C. Efthimion,H.P. Eubank,Robert James Goldston,L. R. Grisham,R. J. Hawryluk,J. C. Hosea,J. Hovey,D. L. Jassby,David W. Johnson,A.A. Mirin,G. Schilling,R. W. Stooksberry,L. Stewart,H. H. Towner +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fusion neutron emission of 1.5 × 1014 neutrons s−1 and 2 × 1013 neutrons/pulse has been observed for PLT deuterium discharges with up to 2.5 MW of neutral-beam injection.

TL;DR: Ion Bernstein wave heating (IBWH) has been investigated on PLT with up to 650 kW of rf power coupled to the plasma, exceeding the ohmic power of 550 kW.
Lower hybrid experiments on PLT using grills with various n∥ spectral widths
J. E. Stevens,R.E. Bell,S. Bernabei,A. Cavallo,T. K. Chu,P. Colestock,W. Hooke,J. Hosea,F. C. Jobes,T.C. Luce,E. Mazzucato,R. W. Motley,R. I. Pinsker,S. von Goeler,James R. Wilson +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results of experiments on the PLT tokamak using a 16-waveguide grill (2.2 wavelengths) which produces a very narrow n∥ = k∥c/ω spectrum were reported.

Confinement of fusion-produced tritium in the Princeton Large Torus
TL;DR: The 14-MeV neutron emission was detected by two independent techniques at a level of 1% of the 2.5-meV neutrons from the reaction D(d,n)/sup 3/He as discussed by the authors.
