| Abstract | Main physical task for GOL-3 is the development of physics of a multiple-mirror plasma confinement for fusion [1]. Relatively high density and short plasma lifetime in the trap require a high-power heating system. Relativistic electron beam is used for this purpose. The plasma heating and confinement in the trap are of essentially turbulent nature. A keV-range electron temperature was obtained due to 1000-fold turbulent suppression of axial heat losses during the beam pulse [2] that is provided by Langmuir microturbulence, excited in the process of the beam relaxation in the plasma. The turbulence also creates sheared magnetic field which provides MHD stability [3]. In general, achieved plasma parameters support our vision of a multiple mirror trap as the alternative path to a fusion reactor with ��~1 and 10 21 ÷10 22 m -3 plasma density. This paper contains new experimental results with the beam of reduced cross-section. DEVICE AND OPERATION REGIME |
