Experimental evidence of multiple-mirror plasma confinement

Creators

Description

Enhanced confinement of thermally ionized potassium plasma with increasing number of magnetic mirrors has been observed in a steady-state single-ended $Q$ machine. The improved confinement occurs in an intermediate mean-free-path regime, and is in good agreement with theory.
