摘要：

Large improvements in spheromak parameters and new understanding have been obtained from the CTX experiment at Los Alamos [Phys. Rev. Lett. 51, 39 (1983); 61, 2457 (1988)]. In one experiment the global energy confinement time has been increased an order of magnitude over previous experiments to 0.2 msec and the magnetic-energy decay time increased to 2 msec. These results were achieved in a decaying spheromak by reducing the helicity dissipation in the edge. In another smaller spheromak, record electron temperatures (∼400 eV) and record magnetic field strengths (∼30 kG) have been obtained. © 1990 American Institute of Physics.
