Abstract
A two-stage, magnetic-mirror, compression experiment was constructed to investigate a rotating plasma as a clean, high-temperature, plasma source. Kilovolt deuterons are created in the static, crossed electric, and magnetic fields of the first stage for transfer or injection into the second stage. It was found that the purity of the plasma is limited by electrode effects and that anomalous plasma loss occurs along the flux lines through the mirrors. These electrode effects are described and explained. The plasma loss is related to an instability associated with the anisotropic velocity distribution.
