A low energy non-neutral electron plasma was confined with a magnetic mirror field and an electrostatic potential to investigate the basic confinement properties of a simple magnetic mirror trap. The mirror ratio of the magnetic field was increased up to 5. As expected the confinement time became longer as a function of the mirror ratio. The axially integrated radial density profiles in equilibrium were measured and compared with a theoretical model. The axial electrostatic oscillations of a confined electron plasma were also observed.
利用磁镜场和静电势对低能非中性电子等离子体进行约束，以研究简单磁镜阱的基本约束特性。磁场的镜比增加到了5。正如预期的那样，约束时间随镜比的增加而变长。测量了平衡状态下轴向积分的径向密度分布，并与理论模型进行了比较。还观察到了约束电子等离子体的轴向静电振荡。
