Abstract

An axisymmetric magnetic mirror with large diameter and easily variable mirror ratio is described. The magnetic field configuration is a simple mirror with an average minimum-B field region on the outer surface. Experimental results are given which demonstrate that the surface field region ensures interchange stability. Stability can be maintained with both positive and negative radial plasma pressure gradients provided that the product of the pressure gradient and specific flux volume gradient is positive.
