Q-1

Q-1 was a linear alkali-metal-ion plasma device operated at PPPL. It was used to study the effects of the instabilities caused by impurities (for example, cesium ions) injected in the plasma. It had a length of 1.2 m and a radius of 0.1 m. It was able of producing magnetic fields up to 0.7 T and achieved temperatures up to 3 eV.
