Enhanced loss of magnetic-mirror-trapped fast electrons by a shear Alfvén wave

Journal Article Wang, Y. ; Gekelman, W. ; Pribyl, P. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Laboratory observations of enhanced loss of magnetic mirror trapped fast electrons irradiated by a shear Alfvén Wave (SAW) are reported. The experiment is performed in the quiescent after-glow plasma in the Large Plasma Device [Gekelman et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62(12), 2875–2883 (1991)]. A trapped energetic electron population (>100 keV) is generated in a magnetic mirror section (mirror ratio ≈ 2, length = 3.5 m) by an X-mode high power microwave pulse, and forms a hot electron ring due to the grad-B and curvature drift. SAWs of arbitrary polarization are launched externally by a Rotating Magnetic Field source (δB/B{sub 0} ≈ 0.1%, λ{sub ∥} ≈ 9 m). Irradiated by a right-handedmore »« less

Wave excitation by nonlinear coupling among shear Alfvén waves in a mirror-confined plasma

Journal Article Ikezoe, R., E-mail: ikezoe@prc.tsukuba.ac.jp ; Ichimura, M. ; Okada, T. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A shear Alfvén wave at slightly below the ion-cyclotron frequency overcomes the ion-cyclotron damping and grows because of the strong anisotropy of the ion temperature in the magnetic mirror configuration, and is called the Alfvén ion-cyclotron (AIC) wave. Density fluctuations caused by the AIC waves and the ion-cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) waves used for ion heating have been detected using a reflectometer in a wide radial region of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror plasma. Various wave-wave couplings are clearly observed in the density fluctuations in the interior of the plasma, but these couplings are not so clear in themore »« less

Influence of the shear flow on electron cyclotron resonance plasma confinement in an axisymmetric magnetic mirror trap of the electron cyclotron resonance ion source

Journal Article Izotov, I V ; Razin, S V ; Sidorov, A V ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Influence of shear flows of the dense plasma created under conditions of the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) gas breakdown on the plasma confinement in the axisymmetric mirror trap (''vortex'' confinement) was studied experimentally and theoretically. A limiter with bias potential was set inside the mirror trap for plasma rotation. The limiter construction and the optimal value of the potential were chosen according to the results of the preliminary theoretical analysis. This method of ''vortex'' confinement realization in an axisymmetric mirror trap for non-equilibrium heavy-ion plasmas seems to be promising for creation of ECR multicharged ion sources with high magnetic fields,more » more than 1 T.« less

Stimulated ionization scattering of a wave beam forming a discharge channel in a magnetic mirror trap

Journal Article Belov, A S ; Markov, G A - Plasma Physics Reports

The stimulated scattering of a whistler wave beam forming an extended discharge channel in a magnetic mirror trap is discovered and investigated experimentally. It is shown that the beam is scattered by relaxaction oscillations of the lattice of plasma inhomogeneities excited by the beam field. The spectrum of the pump field in the RF discharge plasma is found to broaden considerably and to contain individual modulation peaks corresponding to lattice oscillations. The peaks are observed at working gas pressures at which the electron mean free path is close to the wavelength of the standing wave forming the discharge channel. Amore »« less
