Vortex confinement: theory
Calculated energy life-time changing in
SMIS 37 setup for helium plasma. Times
normalized on the time of external layers
turning according to internal layers. Initial
unperturbed state of the plasma cord
(time=0) was chosen axisymmetric with the
symmetry center equal to the magnetic
system center. τE=50 correspond to the gas
dynamic confinement time.
In case of the absence of the shear flow
τE=5.

Mode structure: calculations and experimentPlasma potential and electron temperature distribution in the plasma cord section.Potential is normalized on the electron temperature; 1 – corresponds to limiter radius projection in central plane of the trap.
Calculations show that azimuthal modes m=1, m=2 and m=3 have to dominate in the spatial spectrum under conditions of “vortex” confinement.
Experiments show that azimuthal modes m=1 and m=2 dominate in the spatial spectrum under conditions of “vortex” confinement what is in good agreement with calculations.

Future plans
In future it is planned to improve electrode-limiter for the opportunity to control the potential profile and to extract the ions from the plasma at the same time. In this case it will be possible to research multicharged ion creation in theplasma of ECR ion source under conditions of “vortex” confinement regime realization.
The experiments demonstrated good agreement with calculation: mode structure,critical value of the limiter potential for “vortex” confinement regime realization
