Field-reversed theta-pinch (FRTP) is commonly used to form high-performance field-
reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas, and it is employed for the initial plasma formation in …

We describe a magnetic mirror device, namely, the Keda Mirror with AXisymmetricity
(KMAX), which aims to study new approaches to confine and stabilize the mirror plasma as …

A hydrogen theta-pinch plasma is diagnosed by two-color interferometry to determine the
line density of the free electrons and the hydrogen gas. From the ratio of these line densities …

Pseudospark switches are widely used in pulsed power applications. In this paper, we
present the design and performance of a 500 Hz repetition rate high-voltage pulse generator …

The field-reversed configuration (FRC) is a compact toroidal plasma system related to the
research of alternative fusion reactors. Improving the FRC formation, which is critical to the …

To meet the stringent requirements of the fusion power supply for large-scale fusion devices,
the J-TEXT engineering team has carried out key technology research and applications in …

This paper presents a high-voltage and high-current crowbar system using pseudospark
switches to produce a fast front edge and prolonged pulse current with low ripple amplitude …

For collisional merging field-reversed configurations (FRCs), it is desired to have both FRCs
tuned to be approximately the same, as well as to optimize each FRC to have high …

An optimized high-voltage pulse trigger for TDI-type hydrogen thyratrons has been designed
and implemented in this paper. In the optimized trigger, a lithium battery is used as the …
