Effects observed in numerical simulation of high-beta plasma with hot ions in an axisymmetric mirror machine
Abstract
We present the results of numerical simulation by two-dimensional hybrid particle-in-cell code of high-beta plasma with hot ions in an axisymmetric mirror machine. Two particular effects are discussed: the self-rotating of plasma with Maxwellian ions in regime of diamagnetic confinement and the excitation of axisymmetric magnetosonic waves in a high-beta plasma with sloshing ions.
