The mission of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is to prove the principles of spherical torus physics by producing high-beta toroidal plasmas that are non-inductively sustained, and whose current profiles are in steady-state. NSTX will be one of the first ultra low a[P(input) up to 11 MW] in order to produce high-beta toroidal (25 to 40%), low collisionality, high bootstrap fraction (less than or equal to 70%) discharges. Both radio-frequency (RF) and neutral-beam (NB) heating and current drive will be employed. Built into NSTX is sufficient configurational flexibility to study a range of operating space and the resulting dependences of the confinement, micro- and MHD stability, and particle and power handling properties. NSTX research will be carried out by a nationally based science team.
