Abstract:The effect of magnetic field on the velocity distribution function of tritons
in D-3He fuelled/field reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas is investigated.
Some of the tritons produced by D(d,p)T reactions in the FRC are immediately and
asymmetrically lost from the device without any interaction with background
charged particles, and then non-symmetric loss causes a distortion of the velocity
distribution function as well as a decrease in the number of trapped tritons. Using the
distorted triton distribut… Show more
