Abstract

Recent work on the Phaedrus-B tandem mirror has demonstrated that it is possible to achieve axial plugging (a substantial decrease in ion end loss), a factor of four increase in central cell density (up to n ≈ 9 × 10¹² cm^-3), and a decrease in ambipolar radial transport with the application of 'beach' ICRF (launched in the end cell, but resonant in the central cell). A series of experiments has been performed that has demonstrated that (1) the plugging of the ion end loss is a result of the creation of ICRF-enhanced potentials in the end cells and is in agreement with theory; and the increase in density is asssociated with a reduction in ambipolar radial transport.
