Abstract
In order to test extended MHD models experimentally, we develop a new linear machine in which pure ion and electron plasmas are not only produced separately but also trapped simultaneously. At the first series of experiments, both lithium ion and electron plasmas are successfully confined at the same time. Values of density of those plasmas are in each range of critical values where ion and electron fluids could keep their own motions independently as a two-fluid plasma.
Keywords
non-neutral plasma, lithium ion plasma, electron plasma, extended MHD model, two-fluid plasma
