Pegasus Toroidal Experiment
| Type | Spherical tokamak |
|---|---|
| Major radius | 45 cm |
| Minor Radius | 40 cm |
| Location | Madison, Wisconsin, United States |
The Pegasus Toroidal Experiment is a plasma confinement experiment relevant to fusion power production, run by the Department of Engineering Physics of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It is a spherical tokamak, a very low-aspect-ratio version of the tokamak configuration, i.e. the minor radius of the torus is comparable to the major radius.
