CNT Physics
Non-neutral plasma physics
- First toroidal electron trap where neutrals are negligible
- First electron plasma study in a closed flux surface (stellarator) geometry
Physics of strongly rotating plasmas
- Important to fusion research (ExB rotation and shear)
- First ìelectric stellaratorî experiment
Antimatter research
- CNT may be an efficient positron trap
- May allow the first study of a confined positron/electron plasma
