TL;DRAbstract

The halow recycler is a mechanical device on the Tandem Mirror Experiment Upgrade (TMX-U) that is designed to increase the density at the plasma edge providing enhanced shielding of the core plasma from background neutrals. Each recycler body, which consists of coaxial annular cylinders and a adjacent plenum closely follows the magnetic flux tubes in the transition region of TMX-U. Each plenum is provided with gas feed and pressure measurement systems as well as Langmuir probes. This paper describes the design, fabrication, installation, and operation of these devices.
