Abstract
A quasi-linear model to describe the evolution of a mirror plasma is presented. It is shown that, as in the 2XIIB mirror experiment, a plasma stream sufficiently reduces rf turbulence so that a high density steady state mirror plasma can be sustained by a neutral beam. The scaling law for this plasma configuration is derived. The energy lifetime is found to be the Spitzer electron-ion drag time even when electron thermal conduction to the external plasma can be neglected.
