IRF fueling of tandem mirror end plugs
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6775691
Ion heating by IRF may be useful for fueling as well as heating the high energy and density mirror end plugs required by a tandem mirror. Fueling may be accomplished by trapping the ions that are ejected from the central cell electrostatic well as they flow out through the end plugs. It is shown that for a reasonable level of RF power this trapping can be quite efficient. Furthermore for a fixed RF power level the trapping efficiency is seen to be adjustable by tuning the wave frequency.
