摘要：

Data on field-reversal experiments in the neutral-beam-injected 2XIIB mirror machine are reported. The best result is an estimated field-reversal parameter ζ = ∆B/Bvac = 0.9 ± 0.2 with vacuum field strength Bvac = 4.35 kG. Experiments at higher field strength Bvac = 6.7 kG achieved ζ = 0.6 ± 0.1. Ion energy confinement ⟨n຤Ei⟩ for the Bvac = 6.7 kG experiment is less than that predicted by classical Spitzer electron drag. Ion-cyclotron oscillations increasing with injected neutral-beam current suggest that ion-cyclotron losses are present and that ∆B/Bvac could be increased by improving stabilization of the ion-cyclotron oscillations. © 1979 IOP Publishing Ltd.
