Abstract
Summary form only given. In the Field-Reversed Configuration Heating Experiment (FRCHX) at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) a field-reversed configuration (FRC) magnetized plasma is formed by several theta discharges. These FRCs must have lifetimes of at least 20 µs, to allow time for translation and subsequent compression. They must also have little or no rotation, in order to be usefully compressed to high energy density conditions.
