The CTIX injector is unique: (1) the injector operates repetitively, (2) breakdown and formation are initiated by fast gas injection, and (3) the acceleration bank is delayed and switched with saturable core
inductors.Formation Circuit

Curves of constant magnetic field corresponding to kinetic energy density equaling magnetic energy density show tokamak fueling/impurity injection requirements in this plot of CT velocity vs. mass density.

Additional Magnetic Perturbation Effects by CTs
• Compressibility of CT leads to increase of internal magnetic field at stopping location
• Condition of stopping is equilibrium of the internal and external magnetic pressure
• CT resistivity leads to reconnection of the CT field and remaining tokamak field.
• The reconnection will spoil the tokamak field and limit the RE energy (similar to edge magnetic resonance RE mitigation)

New Collaborative Investigation in Runway Electron Mitigation (REM) on J-TEXT
• Relativistic theory shows RE stopping force by bremsstrahlung cooling can be more effective than collisional stopping of RE. The effect is more efficient at higher RE energy found in larger tokamaks such as EAST, ITER
• Mitigation most effective by delivery of high-Z ions on the magnetic axis
• Compact Toroid can deliver noble gas ions to magnetic axis in msec time scale.
• Collaborative project of high-Z CT injection of J-TEXT disruption studies
• HEEM Test facility for diagnostics calibration and simulation code benchmark
