Experimental observations of the intrinsic excitation and non-linear interactions drift wave (DW) Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instabilities in a linear magnetized plasma column are presented. The experiments carried out inverse mirror experimental device (IMPED)—a cylindrical, magnetized, machine designed to study low-frequency waves plasma. A novel feature IMPED is ability control profiles, such as density n(r), electron temperature Te(r), potential Vp(r) by varying ratio Rm magnetic field main...
An innovative instrumentation technique is developed to enable precise and efficient positional scans with motorized probe diagnostics, distributed axially radially in Inverse Mirror Plasma Experimental Device (IMPED). The system automates diagnostic operations by positioning the probes, triggering conditioning circuits, acquiring archiving structured data. A client–server based architecture implemented into discrete hierarchical layers enabling remote operation control over Ethernet...
