Acceleration by audio plasma

Abstract EN

Two adjacent tubes connected together, one (L= 20 cm, ∅ cm) for plasma creation by AF supply (V = 830 V, f = 10 kHz) and the other (L = 10 cm, ∅cm) consider free electric field region for plasma transport and deposition on the CR-39 track detector.

At the end of the plasma tube beam plasma is trusted from a thin orifice (∅ mm) and transport 10cm towards the detector.

This thrust is due tovarying pressure between the tubes and the energy gained by the agglomeration ions from the plasma field.

The experimental study is carried out twice, one when the far end electrode is made from aluminum and in the second experiment it is made from tungsten.

The far end electrode is biased positive with respect to the second terminal which has a thin orifice at its center for plasma beam exit.

Investigation study is carried out with electron microscope, X-Ray Florescence (XRF) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX).

It was found that the range of aluminum ions is 6.1 μm and of tungsten is 7.78 μm.

Both the SRIM program and the plasma accelerating gradient field related to no = 5x1012 cm-3 show high energy gained from the plasma accelerating field.
