It is designed to develop basic physics of the powerful stationary source of neutrons based on gas-dynamic trap under high-frequency plasma
heating. Axially symmetric Gas-dynamic trap:
Big plug proportion ≤ 60.
Length - 5 м.
Magnetic field in plugs ≤ 15 Т.
High frequency system capacity - 2 MWt,
frequency - 2…5 Mhz
Plasma injector:
- plasma gun,
- linear theta-pinch.
Designed to develop the Alfven technique of plasma heating and generation of constant current in it. The key feature of "TMR" is a powerful extensive high frequency network (16 aerials) for generation of traveling Alfven waves. The "TMR"- Tokamak "T-4"
set-up (used to run at Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy) in a significantly modernized version {1}.
The set-up is designed to produce superdense plasma buildups - sources of powerful photon and corpuscle radiation flows - in a discharge device of coax geometry,
for micrometeorite modeling and other technological developments.
The set-up has a discharge device of coax type. Designed to force with high-speed plasma flows on the material surface aiming to improve their
operational characteristics (polishing, microhardness, wearability, resistance to corrosion, heat resistance, etc. The set-up generates plasma flows
consisting of various plasma forming matters for the production of nitride, oxide, carbide nanopatterned films. Plasma velocity up to 107 cm/s,
plasma density up to 1015 cm-3, electric to plasma energy conversion efficiency up to 85%.
Designed to model the laser interferometer operation based on HCN-laser under conditions of plasma discharge simulation in thermonuclear experimental Tokamak set-ups. Allows operation.
