Magnetics calculations for an ELMO Bumpy Square
Calculations have been carried out to determine the vacuum magnetic parameters, forces, and the use of trim coils in an ELMO Bumpy Square. A configuration having five mirror coils per side and an eight-coil high-field toroidal solenoid corner assembly was studied. Favorable magnetic parameters are achieved in the device. An on-axis mirror ratio of 1.9, a global mirror ratio of 3.6, and excellent centering of plasma pressure contours are achieved. Particle losses are also minimal (<5%). The magnetic forces acting between coils are comparable with those encountered in the EBT-I/S magnet configuration. Circular trim coils were found to be suitable for restoring hot electron ring locations that are displaced when the coil currents are varied for performing magnetic studies or for assessing the effects on the EBS of the global mirror ratio.
