The Princeton Field-Reversed Configuration (PFRC) is a fusion reactor concept with two defining features: the novel use of radio-frequency waves that drive an electrical current and heat the plasma, and magnetic mirrors that trap the plasma particles in a to-and-fro motion. While studying the relatively cool plasma within PFRC, researchers discovered electrons with unexpectedly intense energy. Understanding how these particles are formed could lead to important insights about plasma processes that could be used for next-generation computer chips. Projects on this device seek answers to questions related to how these energetic electrons develop, as well as understanding in detail the shape of the magnetic fields and why the plasma properties affect them, among other scientific phenomena.
