Ion kinetics in a magnetized plasma source
There are regimes of plasma source operation in which the ion motion is controlled by the ambipolar electric eld and ion-atom collisions. This paper presents a derivation of the corresponding ion distribution function and plasma density pro les in the source for a given electron temperature and a given gas ionization rate. Conditions are discussed under which the ion ux is predominantly radial ...
متن کاملSelective Heating of Helium Ion in Magnetized Sheet Plasma
Ion cyclotron resonance heating in the magnetized sheet plasma is studied experimentally in a linear plasma device, TPD-SheetIV. We have demonstrated the ICRH of the helium or helium/hydrogen mixture sheet plasma by the RF electrodes of two parallel plates, sandwiching the sheet plasma. Measurements of the ion temperature in the plasma were carried out by a Faraday cup. In addition, the ion den...
متن کاملStopping of ion beam in a temperature anisotropic magnetized plasma
Abstract Using the dielectric theory for a weakly coupled plasma we investigate the stopping power of the ion in a temperature anisotropic magnetized electron plasma. The analysis is based on the assumption that the energy variation of the ion is much less than its kinetic energy. The obtained general expression for stopping power is analyzed for weak and strong magnetic fields (i.e., for the e...
متن کاملIon Dynamics in Multiple Electrostatic Waves in a Magnetized Plasma
A general theoretical study of the dynamics of ions interacting with multiple elec-trostatic waves, propagating perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field, is performed. For appropriately chosen frequencies and wavenumbers we discover a new nonlinear phenomenon of coherent acceleration (or deceleration) which energizes (or extracts energy from) ions. Ions whose initial energies are below the l...
متن کاملClassical impurity ion confinement in a toroidal magnetized fusion plasma.
High-resolution measurements of impurity ion dynamics provide first-time evidence of classical ion confinement in a toroidal, magnetically confined plasma. The density profile evolution of fully stripped carbon is measured in MST reversed-field pinch plasmas with reduced magnetic turbulence to assess Coulomb-collisional transport without the neoclassical enhancement from particle drift effects....
