Description
Coherent plasma structures, “Blobs” are responsible for cross field transport in magnetically confined plasmas. Washer plasma gun is a robust device to produce plasma blobs. The transport of matter and energy in magnetically confined devices are an important area of current research in plasma physics. We have designed a washer stacked plasma gun which is a very robust device to produce moving plasma structures, “Blobs “. We have created a magnetic topology inside the experimental chamber by using electromagnet. The magnetic strength at different axial and radial positions are measured using magnetic pick-up coil duly calibrated. The same is compared with the theoretical value. The magnetic topology inside the CPS device is reported in this communication. The transverse velocity of argon plasma blob, produced from a washer stacked plasma gun, moving in magnetic topology is measured and reported in this communication.
