Research Abstract

It is possible to emit greenhouse gas, such as carbon dioxide, to outside of the earth by using a divergent magnetic field, that is a magnetic nozzle field, in the north and south pole areas. This research has been performed to clarify the effect of ion acceleration in a magnetic nozzle and detachment from the field.
We have investigated RF plasma production, ion heating and acceleration in a magnetic nozzle using various rare gases. The ion Mach number and Alfven Mach number of plasma flow in a magnetic nozzle was observed and detachment effect from the magnetic nozzle were investigated
