Scientific paper

Nonlinear phenomena such as electron hole, double layer, and turbulent heating, which were observed in a linear mirror device, THE NU-II, are reviewed. Observations were carried out with a temporal resolution of 2 ns and a spatial resolution of 1 mm, respectively. Upon applying a voltage difference of the order of 10 kV between two electrodes inserted in the cylindrical plasma at a distance of 67 cm, the nonlinear phenomena evolved consecutively. In particular, a strong current limited double layer was formed, and its lifetime was found to satisfy a simple empirical law. One dimensional computer simulations based on a kinetic code were carried out with boundary conditions close to the experimental ones. The effect of magnetic field was taken into consideration in the simulations.
