摘要: Data on field-reversal experiments in the neutral-beam-injected 2XIIB mirror machine are reported. The best result is an estimated parameter ζ = ΔB/Bvac 0.9 ± 0.2 with vacuum field strength Bvac 4.35 kG. Experiments at higher 6.7 kG achieved 0.6 0.1. Ion energy confinement nτEi for experiment less than that predicted by classical Spitzer electron drag. Ion-cyclotron oscillations increasing injected neutral-beam current suggest ion-cyclotron losses present and could be increased improving stabilization of oscillations.
