Intense radial EM radiation was detected which was coherent and close to Langmuir frequency. Test apparatus included an alundum discharge tube, 10 cm irf didineter'and 25 cm in length, charged with H2; aluminum elec- trodes, connected by a 15-~Lf capacitor bank charged to 30-40 kv and yielding a discharge current of about 100 kamp; an axial magnetic field variable from 0 to 10 kgs. Efforts to insure repeatability indluded tho use of metal vacuum seals and a titanium pump, the baking pf t4e apparatus at 300*C, and pre- ionization of the gas mixture prior to discharging. Electric field gradients of 3.00a-500 v/cm gave a high "runaway" electron condition in the discharge beam.

A typical test result at a 6-kgs field strength and a 3-4- psec plasma life showed that coherent EM radiation received by a horn antenna through the tube wall and d4~tected over the 8-14. 4-mm wavelength region was as -much as 107 times more intense than thermal radiation from a plasma of 10-ev electron temperature, and was constant along the column. Coherence was detected by two probe antennas placed U mm apart in the column and connected to an 8-mm interferometor. Variation of the magnetic field from. 0 to 8 kgs had no effect on observed radiation. Variation of other param- et'ers revedled a sharply critical value of runaway electron current, below which radiation is absent and above which it rises rapidly in intensity accom- panied by a dip in runaway current. This verified a casual relationship be- tween the two. The relation of radiation intensity to initial gas pressures and to radial distance from the plasma column are also discussed.

Electric fields arising due to polarization in plasma in 1) curved magnetic fields with varying radii of curvature, 2) in a toroidal field where two plasmoids collide and 3) in a case where a plasmoid moves along the toroidal field, are studied. The measurements were performed with two probes, one near the vessel wall and the other located at a given point in the plasma. The plasma was generated in a conical pinch gun and injected into the working region. The experiments show that polarIzation fields consist of the components along the toroid's major and minor radii and along the toroidal axis.

The plasma gun and its operation is described, its energy source is a battery of condensers (1000 pf) working at 5 kv, the working gas is hydrogen injected by a fast-acting valve. When the gun is operated in the magnetic field, the discharge current plate appears. This, togeth- er with the observation of the plasma ejection velocity, indicates plasma drift typic- al of crossed electric and magnetic fields. High speed photography reveals that the plasma generated when the magnetic field is applied is much more uniform than in the absence of the field.

Regular oscillations at frequencies of the order of 20 1d1z of the intensities of spectrum lines were observed at magnetic field strengths close to the proton cyclo- tron resonance. These oscillations appeared when waves were being excited in the plasma and were due to eccentric rotation of the plasma filament as a whole with respect to the axis of the chambert as was confirmed by longitudinal observation with two photomultipliers mounted 3 cm from the axis. The ion temperatures were determined from the Doppler broadening of spectrum lines. The temperature of the additional gas (helium or argon) increased sharply as the strength of the magnetic field app~mached the proton cyclotron resonance value. Argon temperatures no high as 250 eV were ob- served. Temperatures of various impurity Ions were elso measured; these temperatures were independent of the mass of the impurity ion. The width of H13 interpreted as Doppler broadening, indicated a much lower temperature for hydrageniatoms than for the various ions. This is ascribed to the short life of a hydrogen atR6 in the plasma.The temperature of the plasma decreased rapidly with incresaing distance from the axis, being down by a factor of 5 at 4 cm from the axis.

To excite intense collective oscillations, a long-itudinU electric held of large amplitude (E > Ek - 1.58 x 10-8 n/Te), was applied to a plasma produced in the stellarator cham- bex7by a pre-ionization jenerator. All. the experiments were made at initial neutral- helium pressures 5 x 10- __ 15 X 10-4 no Hg. The experiments consisted of measuring the plasma current and the loop voltage in the chamber, the plasma density, the x- radiation from the diaphragm limiting the plasma pinch and from the chamber walls, the ACC NRi AP6008748 microwave radiation from the plasma, and the integral amount of light. With Increase In field, the initially sinusoidal current signal-became distorted, and after build-up of the oscillations, the current decreased to a value I - U)O--200 A, at which level it remained for 10--20 psec,. although a rather large electric field was applied to the, plasma. In all the intervals of the investigated neutral gas pressure and electric and magnetic field intensities the discharge was accompanied by microwave emission from the plasma at wavelengths X - 2-4 cm. In stronger electric fields a broad spec- trum of oscillations was excited in the plasma at wavelepgths 4.6--2W cm, with the maximum radiated power in the 3.2--15 cm interval. In electric fields stronger than critical, the plasma emits also intense x-rays,f`iom which it is deduced that the pW- ma contains a group of electrons with almost-Maxwellian velocity distribution and with a temperature that ranges from 4 to 9 key. Measurements of the integral amount of light have shown that at the instant of "citation of the collective processes and appearance of x-radiation from the chamber waUa the intensity of plasma glow de- creases abruptlyp thus confirming indirectly the fact that the electrons become heated!

The characteristic waves in the plasma were excited by the spatially periodid.1 electromagnetic fields with 10 14Hz frequency. The generator power used was at the 300 kw level. The particle energy and composition was measured by the electrostatic aralyzer and multigrid probes. The plasma temperature was determined by spectroscopic: methods. Plasma density was determined by a microwave interferometer. It was found that three types of ions flowed out, namely, H1, H2, H3, all of which had the same L 46296-66 A-CC NR. AT6020561 energy even though the resonant acceleration,condition is satisfied for H, only. The ion temperature of 2 kev was reached, while the electron energy was only 30 ev. -this also indicates the presence of three types of ions.

It was anticipated that the rotation of the plasma within the gun,,due to the Lorentz force on the radial current in the longitudinal magnetic field, would improve the azimuthal uniformity th current sheet. The dia- 0 Zhe 70 cm long coaxia meters of the inner and outer stainless steel electrodelot 1 gun were 3 and 7 cm, respectively. The gas (0.1 cie of ydrogen) was admitted through six openings in the inner electrode near its center, and the gun was fired by the 20 kV discharge of a 12 microfarad capacitor. The plasma gun was located in the uniform portion of the field of a 1.4 m long solenoid. The magnetic field rose to its maximum strength of up to 8 k0e.in 28 millisec and subsequently decayed exponentially with a time constant of 72 millisec. The processes taking place within the plasma gun Corti 1/2 UDC: 533.9 L 41007-66 ACC NRi AP6018729 were investigated with the aid of a magnetic probe and by recording the discharge current, and the plasmas ejected from the gun were investigated with an external magnetic probe, a spectrograph, a photomultiplier, a monochrometer with the aid of a which the intensities of different spectrum lines were displayed on an oscillograph, and a thermal probe. The rather involved processes that took place within tho gun are discussed at some length. The rotation of the plasma gave rise to a magnetic trap within which a considerable portion of the gas was confined. Two plasma bursts were usually produced, but Vnder some conditions it was possible to obtain only one burst containing some 2 x 10,16 particles at a density of 2.4 x 1013 cm-3 and-moving with a velocity of 3 x 107 em/sec. The purity 0 the plasma bursts increased with increasing longitudinal magnetic field strength; at a magnetic field strength of 6.4 We there were no lines due to electrode materials in the spectrum, and the lines due to carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen were considerably weaker than in the spectra of plasmas produced without the magnetic field. It is concluded that with the aid of a longitudinal magnetic field one can obtain from a coaxial plasma gun pure high energy plasmas free of slow and contaminated tails, but at the cost of inefficient use of the energy stored in the capacitor bank.

The experl-I ment consists of a 100 ka linear discharge in hydrogen, characterized by the absence 1 of gross hydrodynamic instabilities. The "run-away" current was monitored to study the onset of two-stream instability and the resultant thermalization of the plasma. In the absence of collisions the anomalous diffusion observed is attributed to an In- crease in the kinetic pressure of electrons in the center of the discharge. This ef- fect was used to estimate the electron temperature from the time of arrival of the ex- panding plasma at the tube wall. The heating time, measured by observation of the emitted x-radiation and intense microwave bursts, is much shorter than that which can LSord L 07408-67 ACC NR, AT6020574 be eyplained by collisional heating. The very high final temperature of the electroi (2 kev) and short heating time correspond to the postulated collective process of heating by a two-stream instability. (hAg. art. has: 4 figures.

From this It is concluded that simultaneous injection from Card 1/2 ACC NRa AP6036030 opposite directions is necessary for efficient entrapment of plasma. The magnetic. -field configuration recorded with simultaneous injection of plasmas from opposite directions differed considerably from the algobraic.sum of the fields recorded with single Injection of plasmas from t~e*two directions; this shows that the colliding plasmas interacted with each other. 'The moving pInsmas were electrically polarized. .The pqlarization of a singly injected plasma chang6d sign, but the polarization passed through zero not on the axis of the system, but some 0.5 cm beyond.the axis in the direction of motion of theplasma. ..When two plasmas were simultaneously injected in: opposite directions their polarizations decreased smoothly and vanished on the axis of th'e.systIem.

The present work was performed without the magnetic field, and was undertakiia to Investigate the processes taking place " colliding plasma bursts. Plasma bursts were injected from one or more of four coni-; cal plasma guns equally disposed about the periphery of a 20 on diameter stainless steel tube, and the spectra were observed in both the longitudinal and tranaTerst directions. The ti -integrated spectrum was recorded photographically In the ransal from 2000 to WOO r anti the time dependence of the intensity of certain limes was i dettrained with a ;~otoelsctrlc Instrument. The plisms bursts had a maxi=m density- tcar.4 INN L 27597-65 ACCESSION NFtj APS003237 of 2 x 1014 cm-3 and the electron temperature was 4 to 4.5 eV. The velocity of the! fast component of a bursts was,1.4 x 107 cm/goo; this wan followed by a mlo-wer Itall". The collision of two plaarj& burats led to an increase In the intensity of all spectrum lines and the appearance of lines that were not observed in single 1 bursts. Velocity measurements performed with the photoelebtric instrument using the, VP 4861, C 1 4371 and C 11 4267 lines showed that both the carbon Ions and the by- drogon atoms moved more rapidly than thocarbon atoms. The presence of excited ions in the plasma burst at a considerable distance from the source in discussed, and it! is suggested that these are continually formed by a charge exchange mechanism. Thai Ion temperature was determined from the Doppler broadening of the C 11 4267 line. Collision of the plasma bursts was found to be accompanied by an increase of the I ion temperature. After brief discussion it is concluded that the strong interaction between plasma bursts observed in this and the previous work can be accounted for by Coulomb Interaction.

The results of the tests indicate that there exist two distinctly different modes of plasma behavior, one in which the plasma exists for a reld- tively long time, and one in which the plasma begins to decay even before the termination of the high-frequency power.pulse. A radical Idecrease in the lifetime of the plasma occurs at a definite critical ,power level supplied to the plasma, and the smaller the pressure the ~smaller the critical power. The critical power depends on the icleanliness of the system and increases for a poorly preconditioned isystem. This dependence on the pressure and on the purity of the system suggests that the observed instability is due to the appear- iance of ion currents with large directional velocities, At the '(present time the nature of the obnerved instability cannot be rocan- 1ciled with the existing theory.

The report describes the first experiments in which in- jection' was investigated both in a stationary gap in the magnetic field, as well as in the gap existing during a certain time ("mag- netic valve"). To simplify the initial experiments, the injection gap was produced by a constant field, with the coils connected to buck each. other. A 20-cm diameter and 180-cm long cylindrical stain- less steel vacuum chamber was used. Eight conical plasma guns were distributed uniformly around the periphery of the chamber in the mag- netic gap plane. The synchronization circuit permitted simultaneous swit6hing of all eight guns or a fraction 9f them. The plasmoids injected by each gun had a density 2 x 1014 cm73 and a velocity of 3 x 104 m/sec. The working va-cuum. was 6.6 x 10-4 n/m2. The maximum magnetic field intensity, equal to 2 x 105 A/m, was located 40 cm away from the magnetic gap. The experimentshave shown that a plasma injected into a gap between opposing magnetic fields moves subse- card 2/4 ACCESSION NR: AT4036070 quently along the system axis. A strong interaction was observed between the opposing plasma streams, even in the absence of external magnetic fields. The nature of this interaction, and the time of confinement of the plasma in the trap when such an injection method is used, will be investigated in the future. Orig. art. has: 9 figures.

It is possible to obtain in such a chamber a rotating plasma in crossed electric and magnetic fields, with high density, high degree of ionization, sufficiently lone confinement time, but low ion temperature. The article describes the first stagelof the experiments, which carried out 'without reconditioning the plasma in the working volume. A coaxial geometry was used and 3.3-Mc power was applied either through a blocking capacitor or without one. It Wa5 found that much more power can be fed to the plasma without-a capaci- tor. The experiments have shown that high-power high-frequency generators can be used to produce a dense plasma in a metal chamber at relatively low voltages. The densities attained were 1.2 x 108 cm-3 at a generator voltage of 205 V, and 1.7 x 108 cm-3 at 220 V (approximate magnetic field 105 AM. A low load impedance can be attained by preconditioning the plasma. The high-frequency power can.be readily used for effective generation of waves to heat the Cord 2/4 ACCESSION NR: AT4036048 plasma. if the generator frequency is lower than the ion cyclotron -frequency, the bigh-frequency gonerator can be used to produce a .rotating plasma more-effectively than in crossed electric and mag- netic fields (using a radial capacitor discharge), since no arc is produced to contaminate the plasma with wall-chamber material.

The experiments were carried out in a straight tube (alundum, 10 cm dia, 25 cm long) usually filled with hydrogen at 1.3 n/m2, tl~rough which a 15 F capacitor bank was discharged from 30--40 kV. Prelim- inary experiments with the setup were reported elsewhere (ZhTF, v. 30, 1057, 1961). in the present experiment the formation of the cur- rent of runaway electrons was investigated along with its correla- tion with the electromagnetic radiation of the plasma; some charac- teristics of this radiation were also investigated. The measure- ments have shown that an electron current, with energy equal to the maximum energy, constituted a small fraction of the total runaway electron current, the bulk of the current being due to electrons with energy somewhat higher than thermal but much lower than maximal.' *Part of the runaway electron beam goes to the development of electro- static instabilities in the discharge, which give rise to the occur- rence of the electromagnetic radiation. The radiation was found to Card 2/6 ACCESSION NR: AT4036051 be coherent in the entire range of investigated initial gas pres- sures, with an intensity which is constant practically along the entire discharge length. The frequency of the electromagnetic radi- ation was found to be close to the plasma frequency and the power to f th exceed appreciably the power of - ermal radiation from the plasma. The transformation of the longitudinal electrostatic oscillations into transverse electromagnetic waves can be attributed to-the non- linearity.of the oscillations in the plasma due to the large ampli- tude, and also to boundary effects on the surface of the plasma pinch.

Oshor (Phys.Flov.Latters,8,305,1962) and others was investigat-, a ed experimentally. The trap was formed in a 70 cm long 30 cm diameter vacuum ch m- ber by the discharge of a bank of capacitors through two windings, each about one ;half of the chamber. The rise time of the magnetic field was 4.4 millisec and the subsequent decay time was 16 millisec. This behavior was achieved with the aid of a $shunt circuit. The maximum magnetic field was 5 kOe in the mirror regions and 4.2 k0e~-in the gap. The plasma was injected axially through the magnetic mirror at the; time of maximum field strength by an ordinarycoaxial plasma gun. The gun was opera- ted in two different modese In one mode ("short delay) the plasma was 'emitted In Card ACCE SS ION NR: AP4013436 -rsts several bL 'having different velocities. The velocity of the most rapid of thos ,J` bursts was 8.8 x 107 cm/sec, corresponding to a hydrogen ion energy of 3.9 kev. Them X-rays produced in the apparatus were recorded with a cesium iodide crystal, shield- ed from light by aluminum foil and located in the magnetic gap. A short burst of x-rays was always observed at the moment of injection. When the plasma gun was ope-,.,~ rated in the short delay" mode there was observed, in addition to this, an intense' emission of x-rays beginning 840 microsec after injection, reaching its peak at about 1500 microsec, and decaying with a 3 millisec time constant,. The spatial and energy distributions of these x-rays were investigated with a photographic film and: a stop absorber. The x-rays were found to originate within the magnetic gap. The mean one rgy of the x-rays was 3.8 keV, corresponding to the energy of the injected hydrogen ions. It is concluded that the x-rays were produced by impact with the ',wall of the chamber of charged particles that were imprisoned for a time an d then through the magnetic gap.
