Executive Summary

This poster presents the experimental results of the first plasma formation in the Glass Spherical Tokamak (GLAST), a small spherical tokamak utilizing a Pyrex glass vacuum vessel. Using electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) assisted startup with 2.45 GHz microwaves and optimized vertical field control, plasma currents up to 5 kA were successfully generated and sustained for ~0.5 ms. Key diagnostic measurements, high-speed imaging, and null-field tuning techniques used to characterize the discharge are described.
