Recent Results from MAST

Abstract

During 2003–04 MAST has undergone significant enhancements including new divertors, a new central solenoid, error field correction coils, a new inboard gas injection system, a new NB source and several new and enhanced diagnostic systems. A selection of recent results is presented including observation of electron Bernstein wave heating, demonstration of non-solenoid start-up and the first results from error field correction studies. © 2005, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
