Solenoid-free startup experiments in DIII-D

A series of DIII-D experiments was performed to investigate the potential for initiating plasma current using only poloidal field coils located outside the DIII-D central solenoid, i.e. ‘solenoid-free’. Plasma current to 166 kA was achieved using 2–3 MW of electron cyclotron (EC) heating and was lim...
