It is shown experimentally that it is possible to produce a dense, extended electron cloud by injecting electrons into a rising magnetic field. The use of a magnetic mirror configuration makes possible extended confinement. A density 8 x 10/sup 9/ cm/sup -3/ with a containment time up to 400 ..mu..sec and a potential well of up to 300 kV has been obtained in an open mirror 50 cm long with a mirror ratio of 2 and a magnetic field which reaches 1.6 x 10/sup 3/ G in 4 x 10/sup -4/ sec. The dependence of the number of mirror-trapped particles on the density of injected electrons, the injection energy, and the magnitude and rate of increase of the magnetic field is found. (AIP)
