Outline of Final Research Achievements

The BX-U linear trap machine, which we have designed and fabricated ourselves, produces a nested trap with nested potential wells. In this way, we can experimentally superimpose a pure ion plasma consisting of only ions and a pure electron plasma consisting of only electrons, which have been previously relaxed to their corresponding rotational equilibrium states. By this superposition, we succeeded in creating a non-neutral two-fluid plasma in which the electrical neutral condition is broken, and experimentally investigated the dependence of macroscopic plasma equilibrium and stability on the non-neutrality. Regarding the measurements of rotations of ions and electrons in the two-fluid plasma, it was experimentally established that a high-speed camera can be used to capture the shadows produced by the plasma crossing a thin needle installed at the end of the nested potential wells.

プラズマ科学

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

プラズマとは、一般的にはイオン密度と電子密度が等しく全体として電気的中性な電離気体と理解されている。ところが、2流体プラズマとは、この一般的理解から外れるプラズマの捉え方である。2流体プラズマでは、プラズマを構成するのは、イオンプラズマと電子プラズマの2つと分けて考えている。これが2流体プラズマという考え方の特徴であり、理論上では2流体プラズマは存在可能である。これを実験的に検証して、先端プラズマ物理のフロンティアを拡充するという点が、本研究の学術的意義である。
