| 摘要 |
The invention provides in an accelerator for accelerating a magnetized rotating plasma comprising a magnetic system arrange symmetrically around an axis, two electrodes (10, 11) extending symmetrically along said axis inside the magnetic system, said electrodes being spaced from each other in the transverse direction of said axis, two pulsed power sources connected to the magnetic system and the electrodes, respectively, and openings (18) in the inner electrode in a cross-section perpendicular to said axis for the supply of a neutral gas to the space defined by said electrodes, a method for controlling the operation of the accelerator wherein the magnetic field is confined to form a layer which comprises a first cylindrical portion (12) with a minor diameter and a second cylindrical portion (14) with a major diameter and a transition portion (13) interconnecting said first and second cylindrical portions being arranged axis-symmetrically around a common axis. |
