Researchers at Osaka University's Plasma Physics Laboratory conducted experiments on Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma to explore heating via neutral beam injection and low-frequency waves. The study, likely dating from 2000 based on cited research, demonstrates that neutral beam injection significantly improves plasma confinement and that low-frequency compressional waves can successfully heat ions through Alfven resonance mode conversion.
