A Dynamical Model for Magnetic Signal Interpretation in Relativistic Electron Beam Heated Plasmas.

Abstract

A dynamical model is developed to infer the plasma energy from local and global magnetic field measurements. Physical processes involved are macroscopic and observable. Scaling laws provide further checks. This model, when applicable, should be employed to estimate the plasma energy in rapidly pulsed heating experiments, where static pressure balance models have been commonly used. (Author)
