SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF A TOROIDAL PINCH WITH A REVERSED FIELD

Abstract

A description is given of an experimental set up for a large toroidal pinch. the primary system creates in the following order: (1) a weak quasistationary axial ield, (2) the main gas current and (3) a strong pulsed axial field in opposite direction to the weak one. The plasma fields and associated motions were studied by magnetic probes, and the ionization stages of various elements in the discharge by optical spectroscopy. Results on the stability and the general behavior of different discharge types are given. (Author)
