Book Description
The mission of CIT is to realize, study, and optimize fully ignited plasma discharges. The physics requirements have been established to provide reasonable assurance that the mission will be achieved: (1) plasma confinement guidelines consider all present scaling laws; ohmic, auxiliary heated L-mode, auxiliary heated H-mode, (2) figure-of-merit established: X = aB/q; this is proportional to ignition margin; X must be>25, (3) burn pulse duration set at ten times tau-E; an additional two times tau-E specified to heat to ignition, and (4) capability to operate both in limiter and divertor mode.

Book Description
As the next major step in the US fusion program, the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) Project has the objective of reaching ignition in order to address the scientific issues associated with ignited plasma regimes. The present level of uncertainty in plasma confinement scaling requires that the CIT have a high design margin to ensure ignition. The need for adequate margin, coupled with declining budgets in the US fusion program, requires both conservatism and flexibility in the development of the design and operating parameters for the device. To accomplish this, the design includes the provision for an upgrade in performance, which will be partially built into the initial machine installation at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). 8 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab.
