Taban Tokamak
Supports Iranian academic research into microwave pre-ionization and compact tokamak discharge dynamics.
01 Definition
A small academic tokamak located at Amirkabir University of Technology utilized for plasma discharge, heating, and RF studies.
02 Detailed_Analysis
The Taban Tokamak is a small circular-cross-section experimental fusion device operated by the Department of Energy Engineering and Physics at Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) in Tehran. With a major radius of 0.45 m, minor radius of 0.15 m, and a design toroidal field of 0.7–0.8 T for ~30 kA plasma currents, it utilizes electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) pre-ionization techniques to study low-aspect-ratio plasma formation and stability.
