最近在等离子体测试、理论、新实验和球形环面（ST，或极低纵横比托卡马克）的未来愿景方面取得了广泛而重要的进展。自从十多年前初步计算 ST 磁流体动力学平衡以来，这些极大地提高了我们对 ST 等离子体潜在特性的理解。从概念探索级 ST 实验中获得了令人兴奋的数据，这些实验的能力适中（主半径高达 35 厘米），总体上对环形约束做出了重要的科学贡献。这些结果有助于批准和构建新的和/或更强大的 ST 实验，并刺激了越来越多对磁聚变能感兴趣的理论计算。利用成功的托卡马克和先进托卡马克研究的广泛知识基础，提出了一系列新的 ST 物理特征。 ST 等离子体的这些特性将在 1 MA 水平上进行测试，主要半径...
Broad and important progress in plasma tests, theory, new experiments, and future visions of the spherical torus (ST, or very low aspect ratio tokamaks) have recently emerged. These have substantially improved our understanding of the potential properties of the ST plasmas, since the preliminary calculation of the ST magnetohydrodynamic equilibria more than a decade ago. Exciting data have been obtained from concept exploration level ST experiments of modest capabilities (with major radii up to 35 cm), making important scientific contributions to toroidal confinement in general. The results have helped approval and construction of new and/or more powerful ST experiments, and stimulated an increasing number of theoretical calculations of interest to magnetic fusion energy. Utilizing the broad knowledge base from the successful tokamak and advanced tokamak research, a wide range of new ST physics features has been suggested. These properties of the ST plasma will be tested at the 1 MA level with major radiu...
