  Plasma physics program at The Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan).

• HBT-EP Tokamak

  http://www.seas.columbia.edu/apam/HBT-EP/
  Experiment at the Columbia University Plasma Physics Laboratory to demonstrate the feasibility of a high-beta tokamak stabilized by a combination of a close-fitting conducting wall, plasma rotation, and active feedback.

• HSX

  http://www.hsx.wisc.edu/
  Helically Symmetric eXperiment is a university scale plasma experiment based on the large-aspect-ratio helically-symmetric stellarator approach. University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.

• IGNITOR

  A proposed next-step fusion experiment to study burning plasma physics in a relatively small device.

• ISTTOK Tokamak

  http://www.cfn.ist.utl.pt/eng/Prj_Tokamak_main.html
  Tokamak plasma research experiment based at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Portugal. Website includes tokamak description, photos, objectives, and physics program.

• ITER

  http://www.iter.org/
  A proposed international experimental fusion reactor based on the tokamak concept. ITER's mission is to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy for peaceful purposes.

• Joint European Torus (JET)

  http://www.jet.efda.org/
  The world's largest magnetic confinement fusion experiment. News, fusion basics, and scientific information. Culham, United Kingdom.

• KSTAR

  http://www.nfri.re.kr/
  Korean superconducting tokamak advanced research project is a superconducting tokamak facility for controlled fusion research. First plasma was obtained in 2008. One of the main goals is long-pulse non-inductive plasma heating and current drive.

• Large Helical Device (LHD)

  http://www.lhd.nifs.ac.jp/
  The largest current fusion experiment based on the stellarator concept. Located at NIFS, Japan. The mission of the LHD project is to develop a scientific basis for stellarator fusion reactor. An important feature in the LHD design is a high magnetic field of 3-4 Tesla produced by superconducting magnets.

• Magnetic Confinement Fusion

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_fusion_energy
  Article from Wikipedia on the generation of energy using magnetic fields to confine the fusion fuel in the form of a plasma.

• MAST

  http://www.ccfe.ac.uk/MAST.aspx
  Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak experiment at Culham, UK, with information on MAST research, its history and planned upgrades, as well as links to other fusion research experiments in Europe.

• PEGASUS Toroidal Experiment

  http://pegasus.ep.wisc.edu/
  Extremely low-aspect-ratio tokamak experiment at the Department of Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

• QPS Project

  http://web.utk.edu/~qps/
  A project to explore the quasi-poloidal approach to compact stellarators. Project reports and reviews.

• Spherical Stellarator

  http://www.highfactor.com/ss
  Describes the concept and its development.

• Spheromak

  http://www-ferp.ucsd.edu/PUBLIC/AC-PANEL/REC-DOCS/W-PAPERS/spher.html
  The spheromak is a toroidal magnetic confinement concept where no toroidal magnetic field coils link the torus. The magnetic field is generated primarily by plasma currents.
