摘要：

We describe results from the gun-injected spheromak device SPHEX, which show that the power required to sustain the plasma is initially deposited in a column, about 8 cm in radius, along the geometric axis of the device, and is transmitted from the column to the remainder of the plasma by a radially propagating oscillation at about 20 kHz. These results are relevant to the process of relaxation in spheromak systems.
