TOROID DISCHARGES IN DEUTERIUM WITH EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4268865
Some experimental work is described which concerns two different ways of obtaining a constricted ring discharge in deuterium at about 0.01 mm Hg. In one type of experiment a constant external magnetic toroid field is applied, and an E centered pinch is formed by means of discharging a condenser bank of 60 mu f at about 35 kv. In a second type of experiment a very large bank of condensers is used giving a stored energy of about 1 million joules, which induces a variable toroidal magnetic field with a time constant of about 1 msec. This produces an H centered pinch. (auth)
