Abstract

We report on the successful injection, compression, and confinement of an unneutralized electron cloud in a multiple-mirrored toroidal magnetic field geometry. About 2×1012 electrons were compressed to maximum energy of 500 keV. The lifetime of the cloud was limited by the decaying magnetic field. During its lifetime, the cloud was found to perform m=1 diocotron oscillations. Two injectors were operated in two separate mirror cells, and their mutual interaction was studied.
