Abstract

Measurements of whistler-mode electron cyclotron emission have been made in the Phaedrus-B tandem mirror end cell. The receiving horn was located on the axis of the machine just outboard of the end cell. Under normal conditions, the signal had a component which was identified as blackbody emission, and an electron temperature was obtained which was in good agreement with electron end loss energy-analyzer data. In addition, the signal contained short bursts of unknown origin. Significant heating of the electrons due to end-cell ICRF was seen. Comparison of end loss and Thomson scattering data showed that emission from hotter edge electrons was responsible for a large part of the total signal.
