Volume 12 Issue 1 January 1979 pp 1-7 Plasma Physics
The resolution of a paradox which arises in the elementary discharge theory of an ion source
It is shown that the inclusion of a small amount of primary ionisation makes the solution to the discharge equilibrium problem single valued.

Adjustment of the ion energy distribution in double plasma and other synthesized plasma devices
The parallel ion energy distribution of a synthesized plasma can be readily controlled via plasma potential gradients in the ion source chamber(s). Alternatively, layers of electrically biased metal filaments can introduce an isotropic ion heating.

Fusion reactor start-up by RF cavity mode heating of a gas
The application of high power microwaves to a gas-filled resonant cavity may be an ideal way to start up Tokamak, mirror or other thermonuclear reactors. RF coupling problems are avoided by input of microwave power prior to wave cut-off.

Neutral particle modelling assumptions: Theory and experiment
The neutral particle recycling models that have been used to date in numerical plasma confinement simulations are by no means equivalent but may lead, instead, to divergent results. As a consequence of this confinement studies based on individual neutral assumptions must be received with a healthy degree of scepticism.
We go on to compare experimental observations of the time development of plasma density, temperature, and neutral pressure made in an electrostatic surface trap with numerical plasma simulations incorporating a number of alternative neutral models.

Volume 19 Issue 3 September 1982 pp 279-288 Plasma Physics
Simple theory and basic plasma physics experiments are used to deduce scaling laws for ion source discharges.

Electron beam fusion, energy compression, and the absolute instability
Absolute electron beam-plasma instability is suggested as a means of energy compression for pellet and liner inertial confinement fusion systems.
