Plasma containment by magnetic field configurations having good and bad curvature of magnetic field lines

A new multi-pole line cusp configured plasma device (MPD) consisting of electromagnets with core material has been constructed at the institute and successfully argon plasma has been characterized in sixpole cusp magnetic field configuration. The magnet system has the capability to produce different magnetic field configuration having good and bad curvature of magnetic field lines and also control the magnetic field values and its gradient by changing magnet current. In this poster, we will discuss the evaluation of plasma parameters in a different magnetic field configuration having good and bad curvature of magnetic field line with changing magnet currents. Moreover, the plasma transport in a good curvature and bad curvature of the magnetic field also still poorly understood and will be discussed HERE. (author)
