Abstract
Under nonadiabatic conditions, rf plugging is accompanied by effective ion heating, which in turn causes increased particle losses from a cusp configuration. An empirical scaling relation for rf plugging of line cusp loss is obtained among the required rf electric field, the static magnetic field, and the plasma density, and is compared with the relation obtained by a linear theory.
