Abstract: | The experiment on the formation of sloshing electrons by electron cyclotron resonance heating in a magnetic mirror is described, and the physical properties of them are investigated. The results show that (1) the sloshing electron configuration is formed, and its characteristics are very different from those of the hot electron ring; (2) Rn, the hot electron density ratio which represents the sloshing electron configuration, decreases as the mirror magnetic field increases, and the maximum of Rn can reach about 2.65. |
