Properties of non-neutral electron plasmas confined with a magnetic mirror field.
A low energy non-neutral electron plasma was confined with a magnetic mirror field and an electrostatic potential to investigate the basic confinement properties of a simple magnetic mirror trap. The mirror ratio of the magnetic field was increased up to 5. As expected the confinement time became longer as a function of the mirror ratio. The axially integrated radial density profiles in equilib...
متن کاملA Global Simulation Study of ICRF Heating by TASK/WM and GNET in Toroidal Plasmas
A global simulation code is developed to study the ICRF heating combining two global simulation codes: a full wave field solver, TASK/WM, and a drift kinetic equation solver, GNET. The both codes can treat a 3-D magnetic configuration based on the MHD equilibrium by VMEC code. The developed code is applied to the ICRF minority heating in a simple circular tokamak. The ICRF wave propagation is s...
متن کاملThe field line map approach for simulations of magnetically confined plasmas
Predictions of plasma parameters in the edge and scrape-off layer of tokamaks is difficult since most modern tokamaks have a divertor and the associated separatrix causes the usually employed field/flux-aligned coordinates to become singular on the separatrix/Xpoint. The presented field line map approach avoids such problems as it is based on a cylindrical grid: standard finite-difference metho...
متن کاملStable High Beta Plasmas Confined by a Dipole Magnetic Field
Stable high-beta plasma is created and confined by the magnetic field of a superconducting coil that is suspended within a large vacuum chamber by thin supports. Discharges containing trapped electrons form when microwaves cause strong perpendicular heating at cyclotron resonance. At low gas fueling rates, an instability appears that resonates with the magnetic drifts of fast electrons and caus...
متن کاملMicrostability of magnetically confined electron-positron plasmas.
It is shown that magnetically confined electron-positron plasmas can enjoy remarkable stability properties. Many of the microinstabilities driving turbulence and transport in electron-ion plasmas are absent if the density is so low that the Debye length is significantly larger than the gyroradius. In some magnetic configurations, almost complete linear stability may be attainable in large parts...
