| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the flux swing speed of future tokamak reactors with superconducting coils is limited, we aimed to reduce the one-turn loop voltage by exploiting the closed magnetic surfaces formed with external magnetic field coils. We mounted perturbation coils on the vacuum chamber of the existing small tokamak in our laboratory so that closed magnetic surfaces can be formed in combination with vertical magnetic field coils.
Although the changes in the one-turn loop voltage were not evident with and without closed magnetic surfaces due to insufficient correction of horizontal error magnetic fields, plasma breakdown without the RF power of electron cyclotron resonance was demonstrated to be possible with closed magnetic surfaces.
