UW AA Dept. RPPL TCS Experiment (1224 words) |
 | TCS will utilize the modified LSX facility (LSX/mod) to form and translate low density, hot, mWb flux level FRCs into an LSX sized (80-cm diameter by 3-m long) quasi-steady confinement chamber, where the effects of field shaping can be studied, and 50 G level rotating fields applied. |
 | TCS will require FRCs formed at 2-10 mTorr fill pressures, with the lower values resulting in the desirable collisionless conditions required for a good test of the rotating field current drive concept. |
 | The primary TCS design point is based on a 2-mTorr fill pressure, which should result in a 500 eV total temperature plasma and 1.5 mWb flux levels. |
| TCS Annual Report (666 words) |
 | TCS developed over the years but at the heart of every TCS Programme during 2002/03 there has been at least one innovation project central to the strategic development of the company partner. |
 | TCS Programmes are part funded by Government grants that are paid to the knowledge base organisations to contribute to the costs they incur in participating. |
 | TCS is managed under contract to the Government's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) by TTI. |
