Abstract
Doublet II is a noncircular cross-section toroidal device with three magnetic axes. Theoretical considerations show that confinement of plasma in a doublet device might be similar to that of a tokamak with a much stronger toroidal magnetic field. Experiments carried out in Doublet II verify this in that the plasmas are found to have densities, temperatures, values, and confinement properties close to those of comparable circular-cross-section tokamak plasmas.
