    Notes: Cyclotron resonance heating of electrons in a magnetic beach is studied by rigorous numerical analysis of the electron trajectories. It is confirmed that a heating response function [Y. Kiwamoto et al., Phys. Plasmas 1 834 (1994)] connecting the velocity distributions in both sides of the resonance layer can be applied over a wider range of electron velocities than originally expected. For electrons mirror-reflected close to the resonance layer, however, the electron velocity distribution after heating substantially deviates from the prediction of the response function. The deviation is quantitatively evaluated to obtain a criterion of applicability of the response function. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The formation of plug potential is usually observed in a tandem mirror experiment without neutral beam injection in the plug region [Phys. Plasmas 2, 2321 (1995)]. The formation requires only the electron cyclotron resonance heating experimentally. In this Letter the plug potential is analytically shown to be created in a tandem mirror with passing ions, mirror trapped ions in the thermal barrier, passing electrons and φ-trapped electrons in a plug potential but without high energy sloshing ions. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A substantial amount of Yushmanov-trapped electrons are generated as a result of electron cyclotron resonance heating employed for generating a thermal dike in an open magnetic field configuration. The production rate and the energy spectrum of the trapped electrons are calculated by using a heating response function. The calculated energy spectrum of the end-loss electrons driven from the Yushmanov-trapped region indicates a reduction in power efficiency of the thermal dike. The potential profile modified by the Yushmanov-trapped particles tends to reduce their production rate, leading to a stationary state. Their significance to a thermal dike basic experiment in the end region of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1992 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1993), Vol. 2, p. 651] is discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Negative bias is applied to a mesh placed in front of an endplate of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 939 (1985)]. A bias voltage of around 10 V results in an increase of the potential difference by an order of kV in the end region. The increment is about two times the temperature of end-loss electrons and most of that stems from the sheath potential drop in front of the endplate. Provided that almost all the secondary electrons emitted from endplate are reflected, these results agree with the prediction of a potential model for the open magnetic field configuration [J. Phys Soc. Jpn. 61, 3153 (1992)]. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The plug potential is formed experimentally, even without high energy sloshing ion population in the end-mirror cells of a tandem mirror. It has been shown analytically that the plug potential can be formed in the present experimental conditions by using the plausible distribution functions of ions and electrons and a small ionization source. In this paper, the required ionization rate is estimated for the continuous potential profile around the plug by using Emmert's source. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutron diagnostics are applied to a deuterium plasma mixed with protons in the central cell of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror [Inutake et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 939 (1985)]. The deuterium ions are heated with a slow ion cyclotron wave tuned to the fundamental deuterium resonance near the mid-plane of the central cell while the plasma is sustained with the fundamental resonance heating of protons in the minimum-B anchor cells. The measurement is based on in situ calibration to determine the transmission efficiency through machine walls and the counting efficiency of the detection system for neutrons emitted from 252Cf with energy close to that in the deuterium–deuterium (D–D) fusion reaction. The observation shows that the count rate of neutrons increases with diamagnetism, and this relation is accounted for in terms of fusion reaction between deuterium ions with a transverse temperature exceeding 10 keV. Discrepancies among ion temperatures determined with different diagnostics are mostly attributed to insufficient knowledge of the profiles of plasma parameters. The results indicate that the neutron measurement can be added as a powerful diagnostic tool for hot ions if combined with more detailed profile measurements. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A response function [Y. Kiwamoto et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 834 (1994)] for higher harmonic cyclotron resonance heating is constructed through the analysis of electron trajectory under harmonic heating in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. General expressions of orbital displacement and energy gain for higher harmonic resonance are obtained. Phase-averaged energy gain of electrons by n-th harmonic electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is larger by a factor of n, if the effect of the orbital displacement from the unperturbed orbit is correctly included, than that evaluated based on an unperturbed orbit assuming small k⊥ρ. The energy gain for finite k⊥ρ is also obtained. These results are confirmed with a numerical calculation for second harmonics. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: It is suggested experimentally that a plug potential forms in a different mechanism from the originally expected scenario in the present tandem mirror [T. Tamano, Phys. Plasmas 2, 2321 (1995)]. That is, the formation requires only electron cyclotron resonance heating experimentally. In this manuscript, therefore, the plug potential with continuous axial profile is analytically shown to be created with the plausible ion and electron distribution functions in a present tandem mirror, i.e., passing ions, mirror trapped ions in the thermal barrier, passing electrons, φ-trapped electrons in a plug potential, and the small amount of ions that are born around the plug region.© 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Magnetic phase transition in weak random anisotropy magnets amorphous a-HoFe and ErFe thin films with "in-plane" coherent anisotropy are studied by measurements of temperature (T) dependence of ac susceptibility. We observed distinct difference in the ac susceptibilities between samples with the coherent anisotropy and without the coherent anisotropy; double transition behavior from paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic (FWA) to correlated spin-glass-like is induced by the coherent "in-plane" anisotropy field larger than about 8 kOe even without H. Such a behavior is also observed in a-DyGdFe with "perpendicular" coherent anisotropy. But, larger coherent anisotropy field than about 20 kOe is needed to induce the FWA state, which may arise from the symmetry difference in the coherent anisotropy. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A gold neutral beam probe system was improved by adopting a multichannel ion detector and adding sweeping functions of beam energy, deflector voltage, and electrode voltage of the analyzer to the system to measure the fluctuations and time evolution of the two-dimensional space potentials with fast resolving time during one shot. Positions of the beam spot on the multichannel detector corresponding to the ionizing points of the beam in the plasma were simulated precisely as a function of the beam energy and the injection angle. A potential derivation formula was determined taking into consideration both the numerical and experimental results, and the reproducibility of the potential profile was checked. Two-dimensional potential profiles were measured in the optimization experiment of the microwave injection angles for formation of the plug potential. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
