Abstract
We report on the generation of high transient heat and particle fluxes in a linear plasma device by pulsed operation of the plasma source. A capacitor bank is discharged into the source to transiently increase the discharge current up to 1.7 kA, allowing peak densities and temperature of 70× 1020 m-3 and 6 eV corresponding to a surface power density of about 400 MW m-2.
