Project:
Characterizing the MST plasma boundary, identifying the PWI regions, transport studies, and optimizing edge physics. Particular interest is in how this changes between standard and improved confinement discharges (funded by DoE under DE-FC02-05ER54814, “Reversed Field Pinch Research in MST.”).
