Abstract:A large magnetic field swelling near the coil axis in a theta pinch with low discharge energy was investigated in detail by changing the gas-fill pressure, the kind of gas and the intensity of the applied magnetic field. Under the experimental conditions, the maximum magnetic field around the axis amounted to more than three times the applied field. It was experimentally clarified that the shifting of the plowed plasma to the back of the current sheath in the implosion phase is essential for the phenomenon and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
