Description

The report provides a review of research results aimed at developing a method for generating preliminary plasma in open type magnetic traps using ECR gas breakdown. This method has proven positively itself in a number of experiments with plasma heating by neutral beam and auxiliary ECR heating at the GDT device. In addition, the results of recent studies on the development of a method for generation a preliminary plasma using an electron beam injected through a magnetic mirror into a trap pre-filled with gas are presented. This method also showed high efficiency, while demonstrating ease of implementation and high reliability. The developed methods are compared with each other and with the traditional method for injecting preliminary plasma through a magnetic plug using an arc-type gas discharge source. The main conclusion of the work is that both recently developed methods can be effectively used in installations of the next generations based on ostrong textpen-type magnetic traps with a linear configuration.
