Confinement of non-neutral proton plasma within a bent magnetic mirror field: 3D PIC simulation

We conducted a study on the confinement properties of non-neutral proton plasma in an asymmetric magnetic mirror using the three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulation method. Our findings indicate a close relationship between the ability of the magnetic mirror to confine protons and the incid...
