Abstract

An approximate theoretical analysis is given of a proposed technique for producing high transient electric fields within a mirror-confined hot-electron plasma. It is shown that exploitation of the ``loss-cone'' nature of the distribution function of the confined electrons, together with ion inertial effects and the plasma quasi-neutrality constraint, leads to a degree of control over the space-charge potentials that may permit application of the concept to high-energy particle accelerators.
