A major goal of the spherical tokamak (ST) research program is accessing a state of low internal inductance li, high elongation κ, and high toroidal and normalized beta ( βt and βN) without solenoidal current drive. Local helicity injection (LHI)

Solenoid-free tokamak startup via point-source DC helicity injection is demonstrated on the Pegasus Toroidal Experiment using a high current density, low impurity plasma gun mounted near the outboard midplane. A threshold in the vacuum vertical magne

Recent Pegasus experiments are developing solenoid-free startup techniques using point-source magnetic helicity injection. These plasma sources, called “plasma guns”, ionize a stream of gas in a discharge channel, and bias this channel with respe

Large stable values of normalized current IN are achievable in spherical tori due to the large gradient of the toroidal field across the plasma. This allows access to high Troyon beta limits. Values of IN > 12 MA/m-T are expected to be stable to idea

Formation of tokamak-like plasmas via electrostatic helicity injection in the ultra-low aspect ratio Pegasus Toroidal Experiment is reported. Two low-impurity, high-current (1 kA) washer gun current sources have been installed in the lower divertor r

Initial experiments in the Pegasus ST exhibited an operational limit of I p ∼ I tf at A ∼ 1.15. With new power supplies, discharge control has greatly increased. Equilibria and stability modeling of the high I p/I tf regime has produced stable eq

The Pegasus Toroidal Experiment was developed to explore the physics limits of plasma operation as the aspect ratio (A) approaches unity. Initial experiments on the device found that access to high normalized current and toroidal beta was limited by

The Pegasus Toroidal Experiment [R. Fonck et al., Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 41, 1400 (1996)] is a spherical torus designed to study the limits of plasma behavior as the aspect ratio A approaches unity. Access to near-unity A is achieved through the use of

A CCD pulse height analysis system is considered for the measurement of electron temperature on the Pegasus Toroidal Experiment. The first-generation CCD/PHA system will have one spatial point and obtain seven time points with a time resolution of 2.
