| Abstract | 1.Introduction. Experiments on plasma confinement in a multiple mirror configuration [1] are carried out at GOL-3 facility in Novosibirsk [2]. Feature of experiments at this facility is high plasma density (up to 5!10 21 m -3 ). High ion temperature (up to 2 keV) essentially differs the regime with multimirror configuration from previously studied plasma heating by the Ebeam in a uniform magnetic field [3]. New physical mechanism of effective heating of plasma ions, substantially dependent on corrugation of the magnetic field, was suggested in [4]. In this paper the new experimental data from the GOL-3 facility are presented and the main attention to a stage of ion heating is addressed. 2. GOL-3 facility and experimental conditions. GOL-3 facility is a long open trap intended for study of heating and confinement of a relatively dense (10 21 -10 23 m -3 ) plasma in axisymmetrical magnetic system [2]. Plasma is confined in a solenoid with corrugated (multumirror) field which consists of 55 cells with Hmax/Hmin= 4.8/3.2 T (Fig.1). Plasma is heated by ~120 kJ (~8 "s) E-beam. Vacuum diode for electron beam generation is placed at Z= -4 m (Z is a distance from the input mirror). Recently the plasma heating was improved by additional compression of the E-beam that gives increasing beam current density in the plasma [5]. Collective plasma heating by Ebeam results in Te~2 keV at ~10 21 m -3 |
