研究目的
To characterize the X-ray emission of plasma in a simple mirror axis symmetric trap as a function of the magnetic field profile, specifically investigating the effects of the Bmin/BECR ratio on X-ray homogeneity and temperature.
研究成果
X-ray emission and spectral temperature are strongly dependent on the magnetic field configuration, particularly the Bmin/BECR ratio. A critical ratio of approximately 0.75 triggers strong X-ray emissions, with axial emissions becoming more significant above this threshold. The findings are consistent with observations in other ECR sources and suggest that overcoming this critical ratio may lead to plasma instabilities, indicating a need for optimized ion source design.
研究不足
The experiments were conducted in low power conditions without a closed ECR surface, which may limit generalizability to higher power or different configurations. The study focuses on specific magnetic field ratios and frequencies, and further measurements are needed to fully characterize instabilities.
