Observations of collective ion acceleration by a relativistic electron beam in a magnetic cusp
- 1. Physics Department, University of California, Irvine, California 92717
Description
Ion pulses of 1013 protons were observed by passing hollow relativistic electron beams through a magnetic cusp using drift-chamber fill pressures from 75 to 600 mTorr of H2. Magnetic fields of 0.8 kG suppress the mechanism responsible for acceleration without magnetic field. A different mechanism appears to begin and peak as the cusp threshold is approached. More than 1011 protons with energies greater than 2 MeV were observed
