| contents | Particle dynamic in an axi-symmetric mirror machine with an extremely high plasma pressure equal to pressure of vacuum magnetic field (so-called regime of diamagnetic confinement) is investigated. Extrusion of magnetic field from central region due to plasma diamagnetism leads to non-conservation of the magnetic moment and can result in chaotic movement and fast losses of particles. The following mechanisms can provide particle confinement for unlimited time: absolute confinement of particles with high azimuthal velocity and conservation of adiabatic invariant for particle moving in smooth magnetic field. The criteria of particle confinement and estimations of lifetime of unconfined particles are obtained and verified in direct numerical simulation. Particle confinement time in the diamagnetic trap in regime of gas-dynamic outflow is discussed. |
