Plasma Density Increase Due to Transverse Energy Increase in Magnetic Mirrors

抄録

Plasma density increment is calculated when the ion energy is increased transversely in a magnetic mirror in stationary scheme. Increase in the transverse energy of ions decreases number of ions with velocities in the loss cone. Electron density is assumed to be equal to ion density. It is found that the relative change of the plasma density is proportional to the relative change of the transverse ion energy and the coefficient of the proportionality is given.
