Abstract
The TRISOPS III machine at the University of Miami has been modified by improving the preionization of the plasma and increasing the ring frequency of the conical theta-pinch coils. The secondary magnetic compression field has been increased to 120 000 G at the conjugate points of the mirror. It has been possible, with this modified machine, TRISOPS IV, to obtain ion temperatres of 5 keV with corresponding electron temperature of less than 300 eV. The electron density was 2 x 10/sup 17/ cm/sup -3/. This plasma was held in stable equilibrium for 5..mu..sec.
