Abstract
Experiments with grounded end rings and floating end rings have been carried out in the Phaedrus-B tandem mirror. It has been demonstrated that floating the end rings modifies the central cell density. This modification in density is believed to be the result of changes in axial and radial transport. Radial potential profile measurements have been made in the central cell using self-emissive probes. These measurements indicate that the floating end rings reduce the overall central-cell plasma potential. In addition, the relative plasma potential (compared to the on-axis value) decreases at large radii when the end rings are floated.
