Abstract
- The study of the plasma dynamics, existance of
kinetic instabilities and the possible heating mecha-
nisms of plasma electrons are of great importance to
obtain a controlled thermonuclear fusion reaction which
represent a very promising new source of energy.
This thesis describes the design,
construction
and opera t ion of th eta tron discharge sys tem at Plasma
Physics Department, Nuclear Research Centre, Atomic
Energy Authority.
The thetatron installation includes a preioniza-
tion system, a thetatron bank, and the associated elec-
trical control systems.
The measurements are carried on plasma produced
in thetatron discharge of 4 kJ stored energy. The dis-
charge current of up to 105 KA is allowed to pass
through a single turn coil of 14 split sections, total
length of 50 cm and la cm diameter surrounding the dis-
charge tube. The working gas (H2) is allowed to flow
through the discharge tube via a controlling valve, and
a ring glow discharge serves for preionization.
