January 2020 Notable
Contents
A run campaign compelled by an FES-designated Lab Notable requiring the LTX project to:
Complete the first kinetically constrained equilibrium reconstructions of neutral beam heated/fueled LTX-β plasmas with fully coated solid and liquid lithium walls. Using these equilibria, estimate the energy confinement time of low-recycling LTX-β plasmas and submit a report documenting the finding by January 31, 2020. Beyond submitting a report to DOE, disseminate these energy confinement findings at a major fusion-relevant scientific conference by September 30, 2020 (Objective 1.1).
The campaign began December 27th 2019, and concluded on January 27th 2020, culminating in the LTX-β January 2020 Notable Report.
