Control of fluctuations in ECR plasma by applying multipole magnetic fields
arXiv (Cornell University)(2004)
Abstract
The control of fluctuations generated in an electron cyclotron resonance
(ECR) plasma is attempted by changing microwave powers. It is found that when a
cage is introduced in the vacuum chamber, the fluctuations change from
turbulent state to chaotic state in the high microwave power region while it
changes from chaotic state to periodic state in the low microwave power region.
This result suggests that the geometry of the cage affects the state of the
instability. Moreover it is found that the superposition of multicusped fields
created by small permanent magnets reduces the chaotic dimension of the
instability. When pulsed multipole magnetic fields are also added to external
magnetic fields, the fluctuations are suppressed.
