METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRAPPING IONS IN A MAGNETIC FIELD
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4112268
A method for injecting and trapping a continuous ion beam within a nonpulsed magnetic field is outlined in which molecular ions generated by an ion source are accelerated into a magnetic field at right angles and a high-intensity arc discharge is passed through the molecular ions to generate atomic ions which then pass into a trajectory of smaller radius. The molecular ions continue along their old path and are removed by collision, and the neutral particles pass out of the apparatus. This method may be useful in producing thermonuclear reactions in plasma. (D.L.C.)
