Generation of the saturated electrostatic potential along a magnetic field line
- Plasma Research Center, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305 (Japan)
The formation of plug potential is usually observed in a tandem mirror experiment without neutral beam injection in the plug region [Phys. Plasmas {bold 2}, 2321 (1995)]. The formation requires only the electron cyclotron resonance heating experimentally. In this Letter the plug potential is analytically shown to be created in a tandem mirror with passing ions, mirror trapped ions in the thermal barrier, passing electrons and {phi}-trapped electrons in a plug potential but without high energy sloshing ions. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
