Measurements of ion cyclotron instability characteristics in a mirror‐confined plasma

Frequency spectrum, wavelength, and phase velocity measurements of ion cyclotron oscillations in a mirror‐confined plasma are described. The measured potential amplitudes reach, but do not exceed, the electron temperature. Other experiments in this device, not discussed here, reveal a wide range of...

Description
Summary:Frequency spectrum, wavelength, and phase velocity measurements of ion cyclotron oscillations in a mirror‐confined plasma are described. The measured potential amplitudes reach, but do not exceed, the electron temperature. Other experiments in this device, not discussed here, reveal a wide range of plasma conditions where these oscillations are not detected.
