Plasma potential in electrostatically plugged cusps and mirrors

From a study of the particle balance equations for ions and electrons confined by a combination of electric and magnetic fields, the potential barrier heights are determined. The theoretical potential well depths are found to be about 20–30% shallower than experimentally measured values, which may b...

Zusammenfassung:	From a study of the particle balance equations for ions and electrons confined by a combination of electric and magnetic fields, the potential barrier heights are determined. The theoretical potential well depths are found to be about 20–30% shallower than experimentally measured values, which may be attributed to inaccuracy of the velocity‐diffusion loss rates and to uncertainty in experimental parameters.
