Abstract
The properties of plasma injected into the open magnetic trap of uniform field from an independent UHF source have been investigated. It is established that a rather quiescent plasma with control density within the range of 2×108−2×1012 cm−3 and temperature 2–3 eV is accumulated in the trap. It turned out that plasma lifetime in the trap is determined by a classical mechanism of particle escape at the expense of collisions, at fixed value of magnetic field in the trap it is not practically changed with the variation of neutral gas pressure and reaches the maximum value ≈ 4×10−3 s at magnetic field strength in the trap equal 1600 Oe. Besides, the experimental data are analyzed on the basis of balance equations.
