Abstract
The physics of confinement of plasma rotating in the magnetic field with linear helical symmetry is studied at the SMOLA open trap at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The factor characterizing the quality of plasma confinement in the system is its flow velocity. The paper describes the diagnostics applied, which is based on the Mach probe used under the conditions of nonmagnetized plasma; this diagnostics made it possible to determine the longitudinal flow velocity in the experiments. In different operating regimes of the device, the measured longitudinal flow velocity was (0.5−5) × 106 cm/s. It is discussed how the velocity depends on the magnetic field corrugation. The reverse flow of trapped particles returning to the confinement zone was detected.
摘要 在俄罗斯科学院西伯利亚分院布德克核物理研究所(Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch)的SMOLA开放式陷阱中,研究了在磁场中旋转的等离子体的线性螺旋对称约束物理学。系统中等离子体约束质量的表征因素是其流动速度。论文介绍了基于在非磁化等离子体条件下使用的马赫探针的诊断方法;该诊断方法使得确定实验中的纵向流速成为可能。在设备的不同工作状态下,测得的纵向流速为 (0.5-5) × 106 厘米/秒。本文讨论了纵向流速与磁场波纹的关系。检测到被捕获的粒子反向流回禁锢区。
