Injection of plasma into Trimyx Galathea

Paper describes the Galathea-3 facility consisting of a coaxial plasma gun, a plasma guide, a gate valve and the Trimyx trap with three mixings. Paper presents the parameters of a plasma cluster as it leaves the gun, in a plasma guide and in a trap. It is shown that plasma may be efficiently trapped and may spread along the trap. In this case, the transverse dimensions of plasma configuration are beyond the Ohkawa surface limits. According to the estimations, particle escape from the trap is of the classical scale
