Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 225001 (2006) [4 pages]Alpha Channeling in Mirror Machines
Received 20 December 2005; published 28 November 2006
The injection of radio frequency waves can cool charged particles trapped in a magnetic mirror. This cooling effect relies upon waves with azimuthal and axial phase velocities resonating with ions in different axial locations. The ions are then forced to diffuse along highly constrained orbits, such that they can only exit the magnetic trap at low energy. This cooling effect may have application to magnetic fusion mirror machines, where the free energy of the fusion by-products, the ©2006 The American Physical Society REFERENCES (24)
