The Pegasus Toroidal Experiment is a plasma confinement experiment relevant to fusion power production, run by the Department of Nuclear Engineering & 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.
