Proposed non-neutralized two-fluid plasma experiment

Abstract

Abstract. An experimental test of generating ion flow under a complete charge non-neutral condition is proposed. On the experiment, a quasi-neutral plasma is injected into a pure electron plasma which is confined in a Malmberg type trap. So far, the device named BX-U (Beam Experiment Upgrade) confines only electrons having density of 101112 m-3 for -0.3 s with B. -50 G. After completing a plasma gun, the first series of a two-fluid plasma experiment will be initiated.
