Proposal for the construction of a Scylla IV-P confinement studies theta pinch
An experimental linear theta-pinch device, called Scylla IV-P, is proposed to obtain important physical and technological data in support of the LASL high-beta confinement program. The major objective of this experiment will be to perform precise studies of the scaling laws for the growth rates of the most important magnetohydrodynamic modes acting in the Scyllac configuration. These experimental checks of theoretical predictions are expected to play a major role in defining the technological parameters of a Physics Test Reactor based upon the toroidal theta-pinch concept. Auxiliary and secondary goals for the Scylla IV-P device will be finite-iongyro-radius effects studies, high-field coil development, wallstabilization experiments, high-density linear theta-pinch studies, and diagnostic development.
