Abstract
The role of a Paul trap simulator experiment (PTSX) in simulating the propagation of intense charged particle beams over great distances through magnetic alternating-gradient (AG) transport systems by making use of the similarity between the transverse dynamics of particles in the two systems was described. The related theoretical analyses and experimental results that examined the effects of varying the amount of injected plasma on the density profile and temperature of the trapped plasms were presented. The results obtained were compared with a global radial force-balance model. The long-time confinement behavior of cesium ions in PTSX was also described.
