A low energy non-neutral electron plasma was confined with a magnetic mirror field and an electrostatic potential to investigate the basic confinement properties of a simple magnetic mirror trap. The mirror ratio of the magnetic field was increased up to 5. As expected the confinement time became longer as a function of the mirror ratio. The axially integrated radial density profiles in equilibrium were measured and compared with a theoretical model. The axial electrostatic oscillations of a confined electron plasma were also observed.
