Description
Recent success in a plasma stabilization, heating and confinement in Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) is negated by short plasma lifetime (5 ms). Transition processes such as particle buildup, ion and electron thermalization, etc. are still underway then heating sources are turned off. In this work we propose a project of a GDT-based stationary plasma experiment with pulse length long enough to finish all transition processes. Features of the project include a superconducting magnetic system with 15 T magnetic mirror field, 30 ms plasma pulse and mixed neutral particle and ECR heating. Results of numerical simulations of such experiment using DOL code are also presented.
