Rationale

Several means for both control and sustainment of compact toroids have recently emerged: neutral-beam injection, rotating magnetic fields, energetic beam injection, and helicity injection from external electrodes. This new emphasis on control is a dramatic development in compact toroid research. Of course i has long been a central feature in tokamaks where the plasma is controlled in detail by many different techniques. The history of compact toroids has been quite different: nearly all experiments have simply formed the plasmas, and its parameters and profile were what they turned out to be. The new direction in to influence the plasma state by various additional methods means, and not just to accept what it turns out to be as a result of the formation technique
