Abstract
A study is made of the mechanism of generation and accumulation of hot electrons during the interaction of an electron beam with a cold plasma in a mirror machine. The energy density distribution of the hot component of the plasma (nT⊥) along the radius of the system, the time dependence of the diamagnetism, and the escape of fast electrons from the beam region into the loss cone are measured. It is established that there is a considerable difference in the processes of accumulation of hot electrons depending on whether the beam current or beam energy is varied. It is concluded that under the conditions of these experiments the hot component of the plasma is formed from the beam electrons.
