Shell Structure of a Hot-Electron Plasma

Scattering of Magnetic Mirror Trapped Fast Electrons by a Shear Alfvén Wave

“…Different magnetic mirror field profiles were tested, and the ECR heating was found to be most efficient at f microwave =2f ce at the field minimum. As observed in other experiments [22] , as measured by a Langmuir probe which was calibrated using a 60 GHz microwave interferometer. X-rays are generated by the hot electrons when they strike the machine wall or other metal objects in the chamber.…”

Production of a large diameter hot-electron plasma by electron cyclotron resonance heating

“…In other words, this means that the plasma obtained has been well confined by the mirror field. 4 We investigated the dependence of the plasma parameters on the microwave power. Figure 6 shows that n" Teo and Te h increase in proportion to the power.…”

Magnetic Interactions in a Warm Plasma

“…A shell structure with maximum variation at 5 cm for a hot electron plasma with co 0~ 10 10 sec"" 1 has been reported recently. 18 The plasma in this experiment is in a region where (v/c) 2 corrections should be examined, although one must certainly be cautious in interpreting results where external fields also play an important role. For hot, rarified plasmas, the predicted wavelength can be many orders of magnitude larger.…”
