This paper reviews the research on the reversed field pinch (RFP) in the last three decades.
Substantial experimental and theoretical progress and transformational changes have been …

This two-part book is devoted to classic fundamentals and current practices and
perspectives of modern plasma astrophysics. This second part discusses the physics of …

The reversed field pinch (RFP) is a configuration for plasma magnetic confinement. It has
been traditionally viewed as dominated by a bath of MHD instabilities producing magnetic …

Nonlinear fluid modelling predictions of qualitatively new self-organized helical states in the
reversed-field pinch configuration are confirmed by experiments in the RFX-mod device. The …

Abstract The Keda Torus eXperiment (KTX) is a medium-sized reversed field pinch (RFP)
device under construction at the University of Science and Technology of China. The KTX …

This paper reports experimental results showing that coherent helical structures are formed
in the reversed field pinch (RFP) self-organizing plasma core as a result of transitions to …

The reversed field pinch (RFP) is a configuration for magnetic confinement akin to the
tokamak, but its toroidal field has an amplitude comparable to the poloidal one, and reverses …

SXR cross-sectional distributions measured in the European reversed field pinch (RFP)
experiment RFX by means of a tomographic diagnostic are described. Various …

The paper is devoted to a tutorial review of the relaxation process in reversed field pinch
(RFP) plasmas. Both magnetic and thermal aspects of the relaxation process are discussed …

The reversed field pinch (RFP) is a magnetic configuration germane to the tokamak, that
produces most of its magnetic field by the currents flowing inside the plasma; external coils …
