Abstract
For several years, we have been empirically producing steady-state, mirror-confined hot-ion plasmas with few keV and . We describe here the ion-heating mechanism, which is an instability having a fine-grained azimuthal structure covering a broad band of frequencies around , having a rapid growth rate on the order of , and being driven by an intense radial dc electric field. It does not require that .
