Overview of the latest results from HIDRA

The Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications (HIDRA) is a toroidal magnetic confinement device located at the University of Illinois. The primary purpose of HIDRA is to do plasma material interaction (PMI) experiments, development of plasma facing (PFC) technologies and the education of future generations of plasma and fusion scientists and engineers. The last year has seen much activity on HIDRA with magnetic flux line measurements for different rotational transforms (ι) and magnetron plasma operation with plasma characterization. Measurement of the plasma shape and heat fluxes, up to 1 MWm^-2, were performed as part of an overall strategy for testing LiMIT and FLiLi limiters that eventually will go into EAST. A material analysis test stand (HIDRA-MAT) has also been developed to study in situ new and innovative materials. This is based on the successful MAPP diagnostic which has been used on NSTX-U and LTX. This talk will give an overview of the results of the last year of operation and experiments on HIDRA and what future experiments are planned.
