Abstract

Pure lithium ion (Li⁺) and electron (e⁻) plasmas are not only produced separately but also trapped simultaneously in a Malmberg-penning trap called BX-U. No extreme degradation of confinement times or disruptive instabilities are so far observed even for the case of simultaneous confinement of both Li⁺and e⁻plasmas.
