Abstract

The energy balance in a migma of self-colliding orbits of 4 MeV 3He is studied using a two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation supplemented with results from a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation and a self-consistent calculation of diamagnetic effects. Electron drag is balanced against synchrotron radiation and bremsstrahlung and losses of hot electrons. Synchrotron radiation was assumed to be reflected and reabsorbed, but bremsstrahlung was not. Reabsorption was taken to be a function of position, but not of angle, which should be an underestimate. Electrons were treated relativistically. The results are presented as a function of density from just below to well into the diamagnetic regime. We find that diamagnetism can reduce synchroton radiation losses to manageable levels.
