SOFT X-RAYS FROM A MAGNETICALLY COMPRESSED PLASMA IN SCYLLA

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
The Scylla plasma experiment employs a rapidly rising magnetic field in a cylindrical mirror geometry to heat a deuterium plasma. In such a plasma, bremsstrahlung radiation should be emitted as the fast moving electrons are deffected in the Coulomb fields of the ions. Soft x-ray emission is observed from the central plasma region of the discharge. The x rays were detected with a plastic scintillator and photomultiplier. The energv of emitted x rays was estimated by absorption measurements. (A.C.)
