Siemon, R E

The particle containment time in FRX-C is measured to be 140 +- 30 ..mu..s. This corresponds to R/sup 2/ scaling when compared with earlier FRX-B results and agrees with predictions based on lower-hybrid cross-field diffusion. Further improvement in confinement may be possible by translating a field-reversed configuration (FRC) in such a way as to increase x/sub s/.
