Notes:
Loss boundaries and ion flux spectra of end-loss ions have been observed by means of a new diagnostic device in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10 [Nucl. Fusion Suppl. 1, 429 (1983)]. In consequence of measuring simultaneously both the pitch angle profile and energy of the end-loss ions, the loss boundaries were directly ascertained to be composed of two hyperbolic lines characterized by the electrostatic plug potential in the velocity space, and also high outer mirror throat potential was found. The flux spectra were compared with the two types of theoretical results, and discussed from a viewpoint of Coulomb collision.
