In particular, the work will employ spectral diagnostics developed for solar physics research to understand what is going on in the tokamak plasmas.
In a conventional tokamak the plasma is held in a toroidal configuration, rather like a car tire or donut.
To reduce the effect of these error fields, a set of error field correction coils was installed on the mast tokamak.
The liquid wall can conceivably be applied to future magnetic fusion reactors, whether a spherical torus, a tokamak, or another design.
Trapped particles The outside (larger major radius portion) of a tokamak plasma has a lower magnetic field than the inside.
