Booske, J H

An experimental investigation has been conducted in which whistler mode electron cyclotron heating (ECRH) was performed simultaneously with whistler mode electron cyclotron emission measurements on an axisymmetric magnetic mirror plasma. Results presented include theoretical and experimental studies of the early plasma startup phase, as well as experimental studies of two instability phases. These instabilities are identified as a whistler instability and a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flute instability. 115 figs., 8 tabs.
