STUDY OF THE TRANSMISSION OF A PLASMA JET THROUGH A MAGNETIC BARRIER (in French)

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Energy, Pt. C. Plasma Phys.-Accelerators-Thermonuclear Research
The ion temperature of a plasma jet is deduced by measuring the transmission of plasma through a magnetic barrier. The experimental results are evaluated by using a theoretical model. The plasma, which is produced by a hydrogenated titanium washer gun, shoots into a straight vessel of 15 cm diameter and 2 m length. It propagates parallel to a magnetic field with a speed varying between 1 and 4 x 10/sup 7/ cm/sec. The magnetic guiding field at the gun and detection locations can be varied from 0 to 1OOO gauss. The maximum amplitude oi the magnetic barrier field, placed at the mid-plane of the vessel, may reach 14,000 gauss. For a 1000-gauss guiding field, the observed ion temperature of the hydrogen jet is found to be 40 plus or minus 10 ev. (auth)
