Abstract

A small hydrogen plasma gun was constructed using graphite plates and TiH₂. The gun, as small as 5 cm in diameter and 7 mm thick, produces ∼10¹³ cm^-3 plasma in a volume of ∼0.1 m ³. A 10-kA current for ∼15 μs is needed to drive the gun. One or more guns can be connected to the same system, an arrangement which allows flexibility in controlling the plasma profile in the experiment. A system employing four similar plasma guns connected in parallel is described.
