Transverse Drift Velocity of Argon Plasma in a Curved Magnetic Field

Biswambhar Mohanty ^[2] | Rita Paikaray ^[3]

Abstract: Transport of plasma structures across magnetic field lines in scrape-off-layer (SOL) of Tokamak like machines, have convective like features. This cross-field transport has fascinated researchers and is an important field of research. The typical radial velocities are ~ 10^3m/s. In this communication, transverse drift velocity of plasma structures from a washer stacked plasma gun is reported.
