Application of intense relativistic electron beams to heating and confinement of toroidal plasma experiments
Because of recently reported successes in the use of intense relativistic electron beams for heating toroidal plasmas, their application in Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory toroidal z-pinch experiments (ZT-40 and ZT-S) is examined. The conclusion is reached that a modestly sized beam (approx. k$150) could be useful for heating an experiment with the size of ZT-S, but that it would require a much larger beam to significantly effect the bulk temperature of larger experiments, such as ZT-40.
