Recent experimental results in the Large Helical Device have indicated that a large pressure gradient can be formed beyond stability criterion for Mercier (high-n) mode. While against an interchange mode is violated inward-shifted configuration due to enhancement of magnetic hill, neoclassical transport and confinement high-energy particle are, contrast, improved by this inward shift. Mitigation unfavourable effects MHD instability has led significant extension operational regime....

Helium pumping speeds measured for the Excalibur model CVR 1106 cryosorption pump fall into two regimes depending on feed rate. At rates below 6.2×10−6 Torr l s−1 cm−2, decrease with loading from 2.2 cm−2 to 0.3 cm−2. higher than speed varies periodically loading. A typical cycle begins near 1.7 cm−2; decline this value about 0.6 at which time goes through a rapid transition that reverts it back its original high speed. During transition, system reaches presures greater 10−2 Torr, and...
