Abstract

The influence of the finite length of the discharge coil on the axial behaviour of a theta pinch plasma column is investigated by measuring electron density profiles at various distances from the midplane of the coil along the discharge axis. The resulting line densities were then checked by an independent method. For a parallel trapped magnetic field it was possible in this way to measure end losses and also the collection rate of the contraction wave in the case of an antiparallel trapped magnetic field.
