Plasmas confined by a dipole magnet host a multitude of intriguing and non-trivial
phenomena, whose physics is not completely well understood yet. We investigate the dipole …

Detailed experiments and modeling are performed to investigate spatial (r and θ)
dependence of particle production (Z), loss (L p) and retention (Z− L p) rates in a steady …

This paper describes 3-D numerical simulations and radio frequency (RF) measurements of
wave propagation in microwave-heated magnetized plasmas of ion sources. Full-wave …

The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) is investigated in a plasma driven at steady
