Description

HANBIT is a magnetic mirror confinement device. Recently, after finishing the first campaign for the basic system development, it started the second campaign for high-temperature plasma confinement physics study in a mirror configuration. Here, we introduce briefly the HANBIT device and report initial physics experiment results on RF-plasma heating and confinement in the simple mirror configuration. It appears that the discharge characteristics of HANBIT are quite different from those in other mirror devices, and an explanation is presented to clarify the difference. (author)
