  • Abstract
    The START experiment (Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak) is a low-budget device under construction that is specifically intended to investigate MHD behavior at extremely tight aspect ratios (as low as R/a-1.2) as well as the effectiveness of a major radius compression technique to produce high toroidal current in such plasmas. The main components of the START assembly are described along with the mode of operation
