SUMMARY:Neutral Beam Injection on WHAM\, Preliminary Exam\, Kunal Sanw
 alka\, Physics Graduate Student
DESCRIPTION:WHAM is an experiment to study the axisymmetric mirror as 
 a candidate plasma confinement scheme for fusion energy. In order to m
 ake a fusion plasma in WHAM\, a beam of neutral particles at high ener
 gy is fired on a cold background plasma which will create a non-therma
 l population of fast ions. It is these fast ions which will perform th
 e majority of the fusion in WHAM. In this presentation\, I will talk a
 bout the current status of the neutral beam injector and planned futur
 e experimental campaigns. These include studying the fast ion confinem
 ent and effects of fast ions on plasma stability via finite larmor rad
 ius effects. These will be measured with an array of diagnostics such 
 as the beam shine-thru array\, interferometer\, fusion proton detector
  etc.
