Abstract

Experiment on production of plasmas by interaction of a non-relativistic electron beam with neutral gas is carried out in a simple-mirror device. Electrons with energies exceeding beam energy are observed. The fundamental process of the electron heating is cyclotron resonance absorption of electric fields arising from two-stream instabilities. Solution of global balance equations for particles and energies indicate the existence of critical beam voltage and critical pressure for beam-plasma discharge. It is shown that the beam-plasma discharge is intrinsically unstable.
