Experimental investigation of the ion resonance instability in a trapped electron plasma / G. Bettega, F. Cavaliere, M. Cavenago, A. Illiberi, R. Pozzoli, M. Romé. - In: PLASMA PHYSICS AND CONTROLLED FUSION. - ISSN 0741-3335. - 47:10(2005), pp. 1697-1708.
Abstract:
An investigation of the ions induced diocotron instability in an electron plasma confined in a Malmberg-Penning trap is presented. The detection of the instability is based on the spectral analysis of the induced charge signals on the walls of the confining electrodes, which allows tracking of the plasma displacement from the axis. The dependence of the instability on the electron energy is analysed by three different methods: (i) injecting electrons with different energies, (ii) beating the electrons with a single radio frequency burst, (iii) varying the ramp-up time of the confining voltage. An experimental technique to limit the ion resonance instability, based on the application of suitable potentials on a Set of electrodes, is presented.
