Charge exchange cooling in the tandem mirror plasma confinement apparatus
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6814200
A method and apparatus are described for cooling a plasma of warm charged species confined in the center mirror cell of the tandem mirror apparatus by injecting cold neutral species of the plasma into at least one mirroring region of the center mirror cell. The cooling is due to the loss of warm charged species through charge exchange with the cold neutral species with resulting diffusion of the warm neutral species out of the plasma.
