Transport of an intense pulsed proton beam has been experimentally investigated through a wall-stabilized plasma channel (1-m long) in the Nagaoka ETIGO-I. Proton beam of energy of 800-KeV is injected into the plasma channel.
The transport efficiency increases with increasing channel current or decreasing channel pressure, being in good agreement with the existing theory. Changing the timing between channel current and LIB injection, we have found that there exists a good timing for the LIB injection. In some cases, the transport ceases to exist probably due to some plasma instabilities.
