Advances in Plasma Heating and Confinement in the GOL-3 Multiple-Mirror Trap
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper reviews recent experimental results from GOL-3. Currently efforts are focused on further development of a physical database for multiple-mirror confinement systems and also on an upgrade of plasma heating systems of GOL-3 device. In general, current GOL-3 parameters demonstrate good prospects of a multiple-mirror trap as a fusion reactor.

IC/P4-9 Thermonuclear Prospects of Modern Mirror Systems
At present, two modern axisymmetric magnetic mirror systems for plasma confinement are studied in the Budker Institute: multi-mirror trap (GOL-3) and gas dynamic trap (GDT). In the case of multi-mirror system GOL-3, a dense plasma (ne ≈ 10m) with temperatures Te ~Ti ≈ 2 keV was obtained. The most important results described in the paper are as follows. It was shown that electron thermal conduct...
متن کاملECR discharge in a single solenoid field
Electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources nowadays are one of the widespread systems for ion beam production in basic and applied research. One of the main directions for its development is an increase of the extracted beam current, which can be realized by production of plasma with higher density. Significant growth of plasma density in an ECR discharge is possible only with an increase o...

متن کاملProgress Towards A Practical Multicell Positron Trap
Described here is progress in an experimental program to develop a 21 cell multicell trap for the accumulation and storage of ~ 10 positrons. The basic architecture is an arrangement of multiple Penning-Malmberg (PM) trapped plasmas (i.e., cells) arranged in parallel in a common vacuum system and magnetic field. Experiments are described that are intended to address several key issues, includin...
