Abstract

The plasma confinement in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror is studied. The mirror confinement is much improved owing to the potential confinement. The high density plasma confinement was recently attained. Relations between confinement time and confining potential on the plasma density have been obtained in the high density region.
