METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PINCH DISCHARGE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4841246
An evacuated pinch discharge chamber is designed for the production of stable plasmas. After a discharge is established in the gas in the chamber, a symmetrical H/sub z/ magnetic field is applied about the discharge path and programmed to vary with the plasma compression. In this way, the external conductivity of a pinch discharge is used to provide magnetic field distributions which stabilize such discharges. (D.L.C.)
