Enhanced diamagnetism by energetic tail electrons in a magnetized plasma
Measurement of an internal azimuthal plasma current in a collisionless low β plasma expanding in a magnetic nozzle is presented. The electric field is removed from the plasma ensuring a negligible electron E×B drift resulting in a purely diamagnetic electron azimuthal current. The electron energy pr...
