Ion separation by a curved magnetic field in a multicomponent plasma

Description

It is shown that a curved magnetic field can be used to separate ions in a multicomponent plasma. Without selective ion preheating, the separation over one cycle is inefficient: the separated ion fractions will only be enriched with ions of the corresponding isotopes. Selective ion cyclotron resonance heating makes it possible to achieve essentially a complete separation of the ions
