TMX-Upgrade (TMX-U) operation in the sloshing-ion mode
This report summarizes initial results from TMX-U carried out from June through August 1982. In these successful experiments we operated TMX-U in the sloshing-ion mode. We generated sloshing ions, measured improved energy confinement, and observed improved microstability compared to TMX. The experiments operated about as we expected and we are pleased with the results. During this period many additional achievements were also recorded. The magnetically confined sloshing ions constitute one of the two ingredients needed to build a thermal barrier. The second ingredient consists of magnetically confined electrons, which will be studied in the next series of TMX-U experiments using microwave heating of the electrons. Later, the hot ions and electrons will be combined to form thermal barriers.
