Subrata Samantaray | Rita Paikaray [3] | Joydeep Ghosh
Abstract: Plasma confinement is the most important issue in nuclear fusion research. Among all the confinement techniques magnetic confinement is most popular across the globe. We have successfully accomplished a plasma gun which is capable of producing moving plasma. This plasma gun is a compact and effective device. The density of plasma is of the order of 10^16 m^-3 for discharging potential 1kV and ambient pressure 0.2 mb. It is observed that in the presence of magnetic field 250 Gauss the plasma parameters are modified. The pulse width of pulse forming network (PFN) associated with gun is 140 s
Keywords: plasma confinement, plasma gun, pulse forming network
