The Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) is an experimental physics device housed at the Basic Plasma Science Facility at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It previously operated as the Electric Tokamak ( ET ) between 1999 and 2006 and was noted for being the world's largest tokamak [1] before being decommissioned due to the lack ...
The Large Plasma Device (often stylized as LArge Plasma Device or LAPD) is an experimental physics device located at UCLA. It is designed as a general purpose laboratory for experimental plasma physics research. The device began operation in 1991 [1] and was upgraded in 2001 [2] to its current version.

A tokamak (/ ˈ t oʊ k ə m æ k /; Russian: токамáк) is a device which uses a powerful magnetic field to confine plasma in the shape of a torus. The tokamak is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices being developed to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion power .
ETPD: The Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) The ETPD device is housed on the main floor of the STRB building. The device was originally constructed as a tokamak and if run in that mode, it would still be the physically-largest tokamak in the world. Figure 1, left: Photograph of the ETPD device.

Abstract. Utilizing the Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD), a large toroidal chamber (30 m in circumference) with a Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) cathode, a pulsed plasma was created the plasma beta (β =nek(T +T. i) B2/(2µ0) ) was measured for various plasma parameters.
