SUMMARY:Simulation study of FRC stability\, Plasma Physics (Physics/EC
 E/NE 922) Seminar\, Elena Belova\, PPPL
DESCRIPTION:The field-reversed configuration (FRC) is a confinement ap
 proach that offers a unique potential because of its compact and simpl
 e geometry\, translation properties\, and high plasma beta. The most i
 mportant issues are FRC stability behavior with respect to low-n MHD m
 odes\, and new FRC formation and current drive methods. A 3D nonlinear
  hybrid and MHD simulation code HYM\, has been used to study the relat
 ive roles of various competing kinetic effects on FRC stability proper
 ties\, nonlinear evolution\, toroidal spin-up\, and the effects of the
  neutral beam ions. The talk will cover the FRC stability properties f
 rom MHD-like regime to highly kinetic configurations.
