- Summary:
- Recent observations of a pressure driven mode in CTX indicate that its performance is being limited by the low beta stability requirements typical of conventional spheromak designs. Improved designs with higher beat limits therefore have the potential to dramatically increase the temperature and lifetime of CTX and other spheromak experiments. This paper describes the results of an optimization study examining radically different geometries, but all with minimum energy current profiles which can easily be created experimentally and should be automatically stable to all ideal and resistive current drive modes. 2 refs., 3 figs.
