Executive Summary

This abstract from the 66th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics presents research by Helion Energy verifying fundamental scaling laws in field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas. Using organic scintillators and activation detectors on Helion's sixth-generation prototype, Trenta, the researchers measured neutron yields across deuterium-deuterium fusion campaigns while varying magnetic field and trapped flux. The results experimentally confirm the theoretical relations governing FRC fusion yield, trapped flux, magnetic field, coil radius, and elongation.
