Particle Confinement Scaling in Field-Reversed Configurations

The particle confinement time in field-reversed configurations has been experimentally investigated in the FRX-C device. The measured confinement times of 70 to 190 ..mu..s are consistent with R/sup 2//rho/sub i0/ scaling and are in good agreement with theoretical predictions of lower-hybrid-drift--...

Zusammenfassung:	The particle confinement time in field-reversed configurations has been experimentally investigated in the FRX-C device. The measured confinement times of 70 to 190 ..mu..s are consistent with R/sup 2//rho/sub i0/ scaling and are in good agreement with theoretical predictions of lower-hybrid-drift--induced particle transport.
