Description

Magnetic insulation during reversal based on the azimuthal field Bφ of an axial current pulse Iz is investigated. It is shown that the plasma relative pressure βz (diamagnetism) in the channelled Z-discharge is one of the most important parameters determining the effectiveness of magnetic insulation. In turn, the main discharge parameters including the electron temperature are strongly dependent on a number of experimental parameters such as the temporal delay between bias field Bz and Z-current, the relative position of electrodes and separatrix between the trigger and mirror fields, etc. (author). 3 refs, 3 figs
