For information
on the programmatic and physics motivation for the NSTX Upgrades, please read:
The NSTX
Upgrades were strongly supported by the NSTX 5-year plan review
panel in
August 2008 - see for example the comments highlighted in
red
in the review panel
debrief
presentation.
The mission
need for the NSTX Upgrades was described in a
presentation to DOE/OFES
in December 2008, and The mission need
document (CD-0) was approved by OFES in February 2009.
An overview of
the physics design of
the NSTX Upgrade as of November 2009 is provided
here, and a CD-1 Lehman review science requirements presentation
is provided
here.
The most recent
overview presentations on the "Physics Basis for the NSTX Upgrade"
from the 2010 EPS meeting are available in
poster and 4-page
paper format. |
