概要	Field reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas are normally produced in theta pinch machines. Since no material structures link the FRC plasma to its environment, it is moved from the formation region, made of a quartz discharge tube and surrounded by massive high voltage theta pinch coils, to the confinement region. Thus, the heating facilities provide accessibility to the FRC plasmas. Actually, adiabatic compression was applied to such a translated FRC plasma and successful heating was accomplished. The confinement properties, however, degraded. On the FRC injection experiment (FIX) apparatus, a fast rising magnetic pulse, from a pair of half-turn coils, is applied to the translated FRC plasma. By this pulse, the separatrix radius is observed to increase, showing that the plasma is being heated. The increase in radius and temperature is about 15% and 10%, respectively, if assessed at the time when the magnetic pulse has almost completely disappeared.
