Title: AN ENHANCED MAGNETIC MIRROR MACHINE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4293718

A d-c magnetic mirror machine was built and tested. Radiofrequency enhancement was included in the design through the use of r-f plates in the vacuum chamber of the machine. For proton beams of the order of 1 mu a, the mirror action was observed as a function of both the r-f voltage and the magnitude of the mirror field relative to the main magnetic field. Current measurements were performed with the aid of a Faraday cup with suitable bias grids. (auth)
