A new discharge startup scenario has been developed for the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) magnetic mirror experiment. The primary neutral beam injection (NBI) plasma heating system requires a sufficiently dense plasma target with a degree of ionization, which is compatible with accumulation of fast ions. In the reported experiments, instead of the conventional axial plasma injection, a high-frequency...

It has been found that the laboratory experiments on the injection of a high-current electron beam into a magnetized plasma at the GOL-3 mirror trap is always accompanied by generation of sub-terahertz radiation lying near the plasma frequency and its second harmonic. It has been also observed that this radiation becomes more efficient if the plasma radius is decreased down to the radiation...

In the present paper we target the physics of transition from subsonic to supersonic regimes in the expanding plasma flow. Originated form ECR ion sources, this problem is generalized to describe of the stationary highly-localized plasma discharge formed under resonant microwave heating in a gas jet freely expanding after a high-pressure nozzle. The peculiar feature of such a discharge is...

Applications of mirror plasmas

Beam-plasma systems widely exist in the outer space. Electromagnetic radiation from such sources has been measured and interpreted by astrophysics researchers since the middle of the last century. Verification of astrophysical models of different mechanisms of space plasma electromagnetic radiation requires supporting laboratory experiments. Since 2010 we carry out such experiments and...
