Description

The Plasma-Materials Interactions Test Facility (PMITF) recently designed and constructed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is an electron cyclotron resonance microwave plasma system with densities around 1011cm-3 and electron temperatures of 10--20 eV. The device consists of a mirror cell with high-field-side microwave injection and a heating power of up to 0.8 kW (cw) at 2.45 GHz. The facility will be used for studies of plasma-materials interactions and of particle physics in pump limiters and for development and testing of plasma edge diagnostics
