I need deviate a current of 400keV plasma.
If I use a perpendicular magnetic field I would deviate electrons to one side in a circular manner and ions in the opposite, I should like deviate them in the same direction.
The second problem is how not focalize them, because using magnetic lenses should focalize in different positions electrons and ions
Hi Javier,
Did you consider a longitudinal magnetic field, i.e. along and parallel to the path you want the plasma to follow? Of course, ions and electrons will gyrate in oposite directions, with diferent radii, but both will follow the magnetic lines.
I have no more details about yor device, so it is very difficult to give you a more complete answer.
Hope this helps.
It is a good option using magnetic fields bacause they do not reduce the plasma speed. Our structure is a toroidal form that will have running plasma at 400-500keV and we want deviate about 45º, the problem is that the inducted magnetic field is very strong so we should use a energy pulse. Other system I cosidered is a perpendicular magnetic field that deviates the ions, electrons should make cirkes and should follow the ions. There are some other options.
