Beam Drive May 2026

Explain that neutral beams are critical for maintaining long pulse discharges in devices like the EAST tokamak and spherical tokamaks. Physical Mechanisms:

How near-tangential injection creates fast ions moving in a toroidal direction. beam drive

This paper examines the role of neutral beam injection (NBI) as a primary method for heating and driving non-inductive current in tokamaks. Explain that neutral beams are critical for maintaining
